CVE-2011-1546: Andy’s PHP Knowledgebase allows attackers to run database commands

CVE-2011-1546 · published 15 years ago

Summary

Versions of Andy’s PHP Knowledgebase earlier than 0.95.3 let a malicious user send specially crafted web requests that cause the underlying database to run their own commands. This can expose or change your stored information, and even administrators who are logged in can be tricked into running unwanted queries. Upgrade to the latest released version of the software as soon as possible to close these gaps.
