What is CVE-2008-7210?

CVE-2008-7210 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in n/a, published on 11 Sep 2009. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official description

directory.php in AJchat 0.10 allows remote attackers to bypass input validation and conduct SQL injection attacks via a numeric parameter with a value matching the s parameter's hash value, which prevents the associated $_GET["s"] variable from being unset. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a bug in the unset PHP command (CVE-2006-3017) and the proper fix should be in PHP; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in AJChat.

Weakness: CWE-89
