SQLMap command
==============
sqlmap -r issueTrakSearchReq.txt –dbms=mssql –level=5 –batch
Notes:
– “issueTrakSearchReq.txt” should be a plain text file containing the raw HTTP request shown above.
– The “Host” header of the HTTP request should be updated with an IP address that hosts an IssueTrak 7.0 installation.

Notes
=====
– A SQL injection vulnerability has been identified in IssueTrak 7.0 which, if successfully exploited, could allow an attacker to access sensitive information in the database.
– Authentication is generally required in order to hit this endpoint. If a non SQL injection request is made the reuslt is a redirect to the login page. However, it seems that on the back end, this request touches the database even without authentication, making it exploitable from a pre-authentication vantage point.
– IssueTrak 7.0 was released in 2006
