Discussion

PHPMyWebHosting SQL Injection Vulnerability

It has been reported that PHPMyWebHosting is vulnerable to a SQL injection attack. The vulnerability is reportedly in the script "includes/functions/pmwh.php" and is the result of a SQL query constructed using inadequately sanitized HTML form variables. The most immediate concern is that this code appears to authenticate a remote client and does so in a way that may be trivially subverted with a vulnerability such as this one. Furthermore, as this is SQL injection, it may be possible for attackers to view or modify sensitive/confidential data in the database. It may also be possible for attackers to exploit the database server itself, potentially gaining access to the underlying host.
