SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/25892/
CRITICAL:
Moderately critical
IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
WebChat 0.7x
http://secunia.com/product/1202/
DESCRIPTION:
R00T[ATI] has discovered a vulnerability in WebChat, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed to the "rid" parameter in login.php is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation allows e.g. retrieval of administrator
password hashes, but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.78. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
