DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Calc Builder component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_calcbuilder", "controller" is set to "calcbuilder", and
"format" is set to "raw") is not properly sanitised before being used
in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 0.0.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences using a proxy.
