| Detailed Description |
The PunBB software, according to its version number, has an SQL injection vulnerability in the search.php script. PunBB is a freely available, open source PHP-based bulletin board software. PunBB versions prior to 1.2.9 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands, caused by improper filtering of user-supplied input passed to the 'old_searches' parameter of the 'search.php' script. If the register_globals option is enabled, this vulnerability could permit a remote attacker to pass malicious input to database queries, potentially resulting in data exposure, modification of the query logic, or even data modification or attacks against the database itself.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of PunBB installed on the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
