DESCRIPTION:
John Leitch has discovered a vulnerability in Andy's PHP
Knowledgebase Project, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed via the "pdfa" parameter to
plugins/pdfClasses/pdfgen.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 requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.95.4. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
John Leitch, AutoSec Tools.
