| Impact |
Manipulation of dataThis includes vulnerabilities where a user or a remote attacker can manipulate local data on a system, but not necessarily be able to gain escalated privileges or system access. The most frequent type of vulnerabilities with this impact are SQL-injection vulnerabilities, where a malicious user or person can manipulate SQL queries. Security BypassThis covers vulnerabilities or security issues where malicious users or people can bypass certain security mechanisms of the application. The actual impact varies significantly depending on the design and purpose of the affected application. |
| Description |
Khashayar Fereidani has discovered some vulnerabilities in Testa OTMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks. Input passed to the "uname" and "pass" parameters in index.php and admin/index.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation allows bypassing the authentication mechanism but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.7. Other versions may also be affected. |
| Solution |
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. |
