CVE-2015-10055

SQL injection via unescaped user creation fields

Published Jan 16, 2023 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

SQL injection in PictureThisWebServer allows attackers to alter database queries through crafted username and password fields. The /new router.post handler in routes/user.js concatenates both request fields directly into an INSERT statement without escaping them. Published assessments disagree on whether exploitation requires authentication or adjacent-network access, so the precise reachability gate remains unresolved.
