Technical Details & Description:
================================
A remote sql-injection web vulnerability has been discovered in the official Eight Webcom web-application (2016 Q2).
The vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute own sql commands to compromise the web-applicaation or connected dbms.

The sql-injection vulnerability is located in the `id` and `newsid` values of the `content.php`file. Remote attackers are 
able to execute sql commands by injection of malicious statements via GET method request. The vulnerability is located on 
the application-side of the online service. The injection point is the id value in the vulnerable content.php file. 
The security vulnerability is a classic order by sql injection bug in the id parameter.

The security risk of the sql-injection vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 7.1.
Exploitation of the remote sql injection web vulnerability requires no user interaction or privileged web-application user accounts.
Successful exploitation of the remote sql injection results in database management system, web-server and web-application compromise.

Request Method(s):
				[+] GET

Vulnerable File(s):
				[+] content.php
