TITLE:
Joomla Search and Archive Component "catid" SQL Injection

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34159

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34159/

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

Input passed via the "catid" parameter in index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_ijoomla_archive" and "act" to "search") is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

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