Id Description
70947 PyWebDAV DAVServer/mysqlauth.py get_userinfo() Multiple Parameter SQL Injection

PyWebDAV contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the 'get_userinfo()' method in 'DAVServer/mysqlauth.py' not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'user' and 'pw' parameters. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, allowing for the manipulation or disclosure of arbitrary data.
