A vulnerability has been reported in the dcsFlashGames component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed via the "catid" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_dcs_flashgames" and "Itemid" is set) is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Filter malicious characters and character sequences using a proxy.
