MyBB index.php SQL injection
| mybb-index-sql-injection (27445) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
MyBB is vulnerable to SQL injection when in Archive mode, caused by an error related to the KILL_GLOBALS constant not being properly defined. If register_globals is enabled, a remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements to the /archive/index.php script using user-defined variables, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify, or delete information in the back-end database.
Consequences:
Data Manipulation
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of MyBB (1.1.5 or later), available from the MyBB Web site. See References.
