foobla Suggestions for Joomla "idea_id" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36767

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36767/

DESCRIPTION:
Chip D3 Bi0s has reported a vulnerability in foobla Suggestions for
Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed via the "idea_id" parameter to index.php (if "option" is
set to "com_foobla_suggestions" and "controller" to "comment") is not
properly sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.5.11. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
