Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL queries in database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data within the Designer feature when processing data passed via the "db" HTTP POST parameter to "db_designer.php" script. A remote authenticated attacker can send a specially crafted request to the affected application and execute arbitrary SQL commands within the application database.
