The remote host is running Pixelpost, a photo blog application based on PHP and MySQL.
The version of Pixelpost installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the ‘parent_id’ parameter of the ‘index.php’ script before using it to perform database queries. Provided PHP’s ‘magic_quotes_gpc’ setting is disabled, an attacker may be able to exploit this issue to manipulate database queries to disclose sensitive information, bypass authentication, modify data, or even attack the underlying database.
