Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Community Wizard, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass the user authentication.
The vulnerability is caused due to missing input validation in "login.asp". This can be exploited to bypass the user authentication and gain access as an arbitrary user using a traditional SQL injection attack where an arbitrary valid username is supplied in combination with a specially crafted character sequence ('or''=') as password.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 5.1. However, prior versions may also be affected.
