Documents Seller Component "category_id" SQL Injection Vulnerability SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA38410 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/38410/ DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in the Documents Seller component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks. Input passed to the "category_id" parameter in index.php (when "option" is set to "com_dms" and "task" was set to "view_category") 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 2.5.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Filter malicious characters and character sequences using a proxy.
