Joomla JoltCard Component "cardID" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39520

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39520/

DESCRIPTION:
Valentin Hoebel has reported a vulnerability in the JoltCard
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

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

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.2.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Valentin Hoebel
