CVE-2004-2340

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—

** UNVERIFIABLE ** SQL injection vulnerability in PunkBuster Screenshot Database (PB-DB) Alpha 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the username and password fields of the login form. NOTE: the original vulnerability report contains several significant inconsistencies that make it unclear whether the report is accurate, including (1) PB-DB is really the "PunkBuster Screenshot Database" and not "PunkBuster" itself; (2) there is no apparent association between PunkBuster and "Punky Brewster"; (3) the claimed source code is not anywhere in Alpha 6.

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
