DESCRIPTION:
Hamid Ebadi has discovered a vulnerability in Acidcat CMS, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "ID" parameter isn't properly sanitised before
being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL
queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.1.13. Other
versions may also be affected.

Note: It has also been reported that the default installation places
the database in a web-accessible directory.

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

Move the database to a non web-accessible directory.
