TITLE:
wpBlog "postid" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA19538

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19538/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
wpBlog 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/9164/

DESCRIPTION:
Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu has reported a vulnerability in wpBlog, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks.

Input passed to the "postid" parameter in index.php isn't properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.4. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
