SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38112

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38112/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the jEmbed-Embed Anything
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "catid" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_jembed" and "task" is set to "summary") is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. 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.
