Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in PhpWebGallery 1.5.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) since, (2) sort_by, and (3) items_number parameters to comments.php, (4) the search parameter to category.php, and (5) image_id parameter to picture.php. NOTE: it was later reported that the comments.php/sort_by vector also affects 1.7.2 and earlier.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
