RELEASE DATE:
2010-07-17
DESCRIPTION:
Salvatore Fresta has discovered a vulnerability in the redSHOP
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "keyword" parameter to index.php (when "option"
is set to "com_redshop" and "view" is set to "search") 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 Light 1.0 RC2 and reported
in version 1.0.23.1. Other versions may also be affected.

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