There exist numerous SQL injection vulnerabilities in phpIP 4.3.2, and probably previous versions. Most of the data obtained from the request variables ($_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, etc) is not sanitized before it is passed to MySQL. This may result in un-authorized administrative access to phpIp and read-access to the database, among other things. One such vulnerability allows an attacker to gain administrative access to the application, this does not require the attacker to already have access to an existing user account. Proof of concept: Go to the phpIP login page and enter a valid username ('phpip' typically works, if not try 'admin') with the following password: a') UNION SELECT 1,1,'Administrator',1,1,1,1,1 # At this point you will be logged in as an Administrator with the supplied username. There is also the risk of information disclosure through another SQL injection vulnerability found in display.php. The following PoC demonstrates a query that will echo a userid, username, MD5-hashed password, and email address to the page. You must be logged in to take advantage of this vulnerability (see above.) Proof of concept: http(s)://path/to/phpip/display.php?range=view&id=0%20UNION%20SELECT%20null,null,null,null,null,null,uid,username,password,email,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null%20%20FROM%20users--&iprange=0&netid=0
