This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. 2) Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (when "option" is set to "com_vxdate", "md" is set to "details" or "editform", and "ct" is set) is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
