MyBB < 1.01 SQL Injection Vulnerabilities Vulnerability Scan


Vulnerability Scan Summary
Checks for SQL injection vulnerabilities in MyBB < 1.01

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test

Synopsis :

The remote web server has a PHP application that is affected by
multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities.

Description :

The installed version of MyBB fails to validate user input to the
'mybbadmin' cookie in the 'admin/global.php' script as well as the
extension of a file upload before using them in database queries. An
attacker may be able to leverage these issues to disclose sensitive
information, modify data, or launch attacks against the underlying
database.

Note that exploitation of the second issue may require authentication
while the first does not.
