Moderately critical

Scout Portal Toolkit (SPT) 1.x

DESCRIPTION:
Simo64 has discovered a vulnerability in Scout Portal Toolkit, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks.

Input passed to the "forumid" parameter in "SPT--ForumTopics.php"
isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can
be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL
code.
