DESCRIPTION:
luny has reported a vulnerability in AlstraSoft Web Host (WebHost)
Directory, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

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

http://[host]/webhost/search/?uri=base64([code])

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.2. Other versions
may also be affected.

Note: It is also possible to disclose installation path information
