| Detailed Description |
The phpGroupWare program, according to its version number, has multiple SQL injection and cross-site scripting issues. phpGroupWare, developed by Joseph Engo, is a PHP-based groupware suite that includes features such as, email, calendar, and todo lists. phpGroupWare versions 0.9.14.003 and earlier are vulnerable to two issues:
1. The SQL injection issues may allow a remote attacker to manipulate query logic, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive information such as the administrator password hash or corruption of database data. SQL injection attacks may also potentially be used to exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation.
2. The cross-site scripting issues could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious link to the vulnerable application that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote phpGroupWare program to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
