RELEASE DATE:
2013-11-29
DESCRIPTION:
Compass Security has discovered a vulnerability in the All Video
Share component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "avssearch" parameter to index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_allvideoshare" and "view" is set to "search")
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 confirmed in version 2.0.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.1.0.
