CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17181
CWE-ID:
CWE-89 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in SaveAudit function in /portal/lib/paylib.php and portalAudit function in /portal/lib/appsql.class.php.
