ADOdb server.php SQL command execution
| adodb-server-command-execution (24051) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
ADOdb is a database connectivity library for PHP. Multiple PHP-based applications using versions of ADOdb prior to 4.70 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the server. If the MySQL root password is empty and the server.php script is located within the Web root, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the server.php script using the "sql" parameter to execute arbitrary SQL commands.
This vulnerability affects the following PHP-based applications: Mantis, PostNuke, Moodle, and Cacti.
