The web vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass the basic login protection of the web-application. The auth bypass web vulnerability is located in the username and password input fields of the admin index.php login file. Remote attackers are able to inject a classic sql payload to bypass the secure login authentication process. The security risk of the auth bypass vulnerability is estimated as critical with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 8.1. Exploitation of the remote auth bypass web vulnerability requires no user interaction or privileged web-application user accounts. Successful exploitation of the remote sql injection results in database management system, web-server and web-application compromise. Request Method(s): [+] POST Vulnerable Module(s): [+] ./admin (Login) Vulnerable File(s): [+] index.php Vulnerable Input(s): [+] Username [+] Password Proof of Concept (PoC): ======================= The auth bypass vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without user interaction or privileged web-application user account.
