Description

SQL injection vulnerability in the session handling functionality in bridge/coppermine.inc.php in Coppermine Photo Gallery (CPG) 1.4.17 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via an input field associated with the session_id variable, as exploited in the wild in April 2008. NOTE: the fix for CVE-2008-1840 was intended to address this vulnerability, but is actually inapplicable.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
