SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA19392

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19392/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
AkoComment 2.x (module for Mambo)
http://secunia.com/product/8985/

DESCRIPTION:
Stefan Keller has reported two vulnerabilities in the AkoComment
module for Mambo, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "acname" and "contentid" parameters when posting
a comment isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query.
This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Stefan Keller
