Joomla Joaktree Component "treeId" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37535

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37535/

DESCRIPTION:
Don Tukulesto has discovered a vulnerability in the Joaktree
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "treeId" parameter to index.php (when "option"
is set to "com_joaktree") 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 1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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