SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA41293 VERIFY ADVISORY: Secunia.com http://secunia.com/advisories/41293/ Customer Area (Credentials Required) https://ca.secunia.com/?page=viewadvisory&vuln_id=41293 RELEASE DATE: 2010-09-07DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been discovered in the Aardvertiser component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks. Input passed via "cat_name" to index.php (when "option" is set to "com_aardvertiser" and "task" is set to "view") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Stephan Sattler
