Description

Cerberus Helpdesk contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the 'cer_KnowledgebaseHandler.class.php' script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'mode', 'root', 'sid' and 'kbid' variables of the '_load_article_details' function. This may allow an attacker to fetch the "superuser" md5 password by manipulating SQL queries in the backend database.
