high Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 5144

Synopsis

The remote host is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack.

Description

The remote host is running FlexCMS, a content management system written in PHP. The installed version of FlexCMS is earlier than 3.0. Such versions are potentially affected by a SQL injection vulnerability in the 'CookieUsername' cookie parameter. An attacker, exploiting this flaw, may be able to compromise the application.
