toxa has discovered a vulnerability in the DatsoGallery component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

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 1.6. Other versions may
also be affected.
