      myPHPnuke SQL Injection ($aid)
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://sourceforge.net/projects/myphpnuke> myPHPNuke is a content
    management system written in PHP. An SQL Injection vulnerability in the
    product allows remote attackers to insert malicious arbitrary SQL
    statements into those used by the product allowing compromise of the
    server and database.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable systems:
     * myPHPnuke version 1.8.8

    Vulnerable code:
    In the auth.inc.php file:
    if ((isset($aid)) && (isset($pwd)) && ($op == "login")) {
    if($aid!="" AND $pwd!="") {
    $q="select pwd from ".$mpnTables['authors']." where aid='$aid'";
    $result=mysql_query("select pwd from ".$mpnTables['authors']." where
    aid='$aid'");
    list($pass)=mysql_fetch_row($result);
    if ($pass == $pwd) {
    $pwd1 = md5($pwd);
    mysql_query("update ".$mpnTables['authors']." set pwd = '$pwd1' where
    aid='$aid'");
    $pass = $pwd1;
    } else {
    $pwd1 = md5($pwd);
    }
    if($pass == $pwd1) {
    $admin = base64_encode("$aid:$pwd1");
    setcookie("admin", "$admin", time()+2592000, "", "", ""); // 1 mo is
    2592000
    }
    }
    }

    As you can see $aid is not checked. Therefore, you can run the query like:
    select pwd from mpn_authors where aid='mad' into outfile
    '/filepath/file.txt'

    When you enter:
    aid=mad' into outfile '/filepath/file.txt

    Workaround:
    This vulnerability will not work if magic_quotes_gpc is set to on.

    Fix:
    Find the line:
    if ((isset($aid)) && (isset($pwd)) && ($op == "login")) {
    if($aid!="" AND $pwd!="") {

    And add to it:
    $aid=addslashes($aid);
