RELEASE DATE:

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the JEEMA SMS
component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious users to
conduct SQL injection attacks and by malicious people to conduct
cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed via the "filter_subsearch" parameter to index.php
(when "option" is set to "com_jeemasms" and "view" is set to "book",
"group", "history", "sender", "keyword", "smstemplate", "csvsms",
"invoice", "smsschedule", or "senderrequest") is not properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Input passed via the "groupid" parameter to index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_jeemasms" and "view" and "task" is set to
"groupsubscribe") is not properly sanitised before being used in a
SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

3) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. transfer other users credits
if a logged-in user visits a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do
not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the application.

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the HM Community
component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious users to
conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct
SQL injection attacks.

2) Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_hmcommunity" and "view" is set to "fnd_home") is not
