This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability allows e.g. retrieving administrator usernames, password hashes, and e-mail addresses. 2) The admin/main.php script fails to validate the extension of an uploaded file. This can be exploited to upload files with the ".php" extension and execute arbitrary PHP code on the server. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires valid administrator credentials (but see #1). The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Only grant administrator access to trusted users.
