Joomla iJoomla RSS Feeder "cat" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35454

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35454/

DESCRIPTION:
xoron has reported a vulnerability in the iJoomla RSS Feeder
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "cat" parameter in index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_ijoomla_rss" and "act" to "xml") is not properly
sanitised before being used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
