CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:

SOFTWARE:
DS-Syndicate 1.x (component for Joomla)
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20188/

DESCRIPTION:
boom3rang has discovered a vulnerability in the DS-Syndicate
component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "feed_id" parameter in the Joomla! installation's
index.php script (when "option" is set to "ds-syndicate" and "version"
to "1") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries.
This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.1.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

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