Details
A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Parallels Plesk up to 10.3.1 (Hosting Control Software). Affected is some unknown functionality of the file admin/plib/api-rpc/Agent.php. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-89.
