ADOdb tmssql.php PHP command execution
| adodb-tmssql-command-execution (24052) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
ADOdb could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary PHP commands on the server. If the tests/tmssql.php script is accessible within the Web root, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the tmssql.php script using the "do" parameter to execute arbitrary PHP commands.
