x - protection script

Recommended Posts

Hello I use the x protection version 1.10 script which basically is a script that allows you to control user access on a specific page, using either an existing mysql database or using encrypted sha1 passwords.  I've used this script a bit in the past, but the developer has stopped work on the project, and as of late there has been a security issue. as described here http://secunia.com/advisories/21282

 

"Input passed to the "username" and "password" form field parameters in protect.php is not properly sanitized before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

 

Successful exploitation can be used to bypass authentication, but requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

 

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.10. Other versions may also be affected."

 

I'm curious if anyone know's what I could do to fix the code? to make it properly sanitize the field parameters?

Any idea's?
