| Detailed Description |
The Simple Machines Forum, according to its version number, has an SQL injection vulnerability via the msg parameter. Simple Machines Forum (SMF) is an open-source web forum application written in PHP. SMF version 1.0.4 and earlier versions could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands, caused by improper filtering of user-supplied input passed to the 'msg' parameter. 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 Simple Machines Forum installed on the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
