vbPortal 2.0 alpha 8.1 Authentication SQL Injection Vulnerability, allows attackers to prematurely terminate the string and influence the logic of the current SQL query, potentially exposing sensitive information or launching attacks against the underlying database

Code

                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8613/info

It has been reported that vbPortal is prone to SQL injection attacks when authentication users. The problem occurs due to insufficient sanitization of the $aid variable, used to store the name of the authenticating user. As a result, an attacker may supply data within the username designed to prematurely terminate the string, and influence the logic of the current SQL query. This may be exploited to expose sensitive information, or potentially to launch attacks against the underlying database.
