DeskPRO is "an integrated script to manage your customer sales and support". The DeskPRO product uses a SQL engine (MySQL) to store information.
The product contains multiple pages that do not adequately filter our user provided data, allowing a remote attacker to insert malicious SQL statements into existing ones.
The vulnerability is better emphasized by the fact that a remote attacker can logon into the system with the administrator username without knowing the password by entering the following information in the logon screen:
Email: admin Password: 'or''='
