Powie’s PHP Forum <= v1.29a (editpoll) Remote SQL Injection Exploit
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in 'editpoll.php' script. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request with malicious SQL statements to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary SQL commands in application's database. This can be exploited to bypass authentication and gain access to the administrative panel.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to prevent SQL injection attacks. It is also recommended to use parameterized queries instead of dynamic SQL queries.
