eFront <= 3.6.10 (periodic_updater.php) SQL Injection Vulnerability

Description:

eFront contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the www/periodic_updater.php script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input passed via the ‘HTTP_REFERER’ parameter. 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.
