Active Auction Remote SQL Injection Vulnerability
This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a SQL injection attack on the Active Auction script. By manipulating the 'catid' parameter in the URL, an attacker can execute arbitrary SQL queries and retrieve sensitive information from the database. The specific SQL injection payload is 'catid=-1+union+select+0,adminname,2+from+admins%20where%20adminid=1' for the username and 'catid=-1+union+select+0,password,2+from+admins%20where%20adminid=1' for the password.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, the vendor should sanitize user input and use parameterized queries or prepared statements to prevent SQL injection attacks. Users are advised to update to the latest version of the Active Auction script.
