SQL injection vulnerability in functions/functions_filters.asp in Web Wiz Forums before 8.05a (MySQL version) does not properly filter certain characters in SQL commands, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via \"' (backslash double-quote quote) sequences, which are collapsed into \'', as demonstrated via the name parameter to forum/pop_up_member_search.asp.
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.
