Executive brief
GazellePW is a PHP-based private BitTorrent tracker web framework. A SQL injection flaw in the tags manager allows staff members with moderator privileges to execute arbitrary database queries by sending specially crafted requests, potentially enabling complete database compromise including exposure of user credentials and sensitive tracker data.
Technical details
The vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in the tags manager component (manage_tags.php) that arises from insufficient input validation on the tagid and type parameters in POST requests to tools.php?action=manage_tags. The vulnerable code constructs SQL queries by directly concatenating user-controlled input without proper parameterized queries or escaping. An authenticated attacker with users_mod (moderator) privileges can exploit this via blind SQL injection techniques to extract arbitrary data from the database, including the users_main table. No patch information is currently available.
