Pixelpost 1.7.3 Multiple POST Variables SQL Injection Vulnerability

Pixelpost is vulnerable to an SQL Injection attack when input is passed to several POST parameters (findfid, id, selectfcat, selectfmon, selectftag). The script (admin/index.php) fails to properly sanitize the input before being returned to the user allowing the attacker to compromise the entire DB system and view sensitive information.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent SQL injection attacks. All user-supplied input should be validated and filtered before being used in an SQL query.
