Title: PHP-Nuke MS-Analysis Module HTTP Referrer Field SQL Injection Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
MS-Analysis is a freely available module built for PHP-Nuke designed to analyze incoming site traffic and store related data. PHP-Nuke is a popular open source web based content management system.
Reportedly the MS-Analysis module is prone to a remote SQL injection vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied HTTP header input before using it in an SQL query.
The problem presents itself when malicious SQL statements are passed to the application via the 'Referer' field of an HTTP header. The module uses the value passed through the 'Referer' field in an SQL query without sufficient sanitization.
As a result of this, a malicious user may influence database queries in order to view or modify sensitive information, potentially compromising the software or the database. It may be possible for an attacker to disclose the administrator password hash by exploiting this issue.
Affected Products:
- MS-Analysis Website Traffic Analyzer 2.0.0
