Description Ilya Eremin 2007-11-11 12:48:32 UTC

When creating a new database, a malicious user can use a client-side Web proxy to place malicious code in the "db" parameter of the POST request. Since db_create.php does not properly sanitize user-supplied input, an administrator could face a persistent XSS attack when the database names are displayed.

Sample Exploit Code:
db=>%22%27><img%20src%3d%22javascript:alert(%27XSS%27)%22>

2.11.2.1 is now out to fix this issue
From ChangeLog
- (2.11.2.1) fixed possible SQL injection using database name
- (2.11.2.1) fixed possible XSS in database name, 
  thanks to Omer Singer, The DigiTrust Group
