Joomla Webee Comments Component "articleId" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38625

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38625/

DESCRIPTION:
Jeff Channell has discovered a vulnerability in the Webee Comments
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "articleId" parameter to index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_webeecomment") 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 2.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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