DESCRIPTION:
Charles Hooper has reported multiple vulnerabilities in the Mingle
Forum plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious users
to bypass certain security restrictions and by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

1) An error when updating forum posts can be exploited to edit any
post by browsing directly to the Edit Post page (e.g. set
"mingleforumaction" to "editpost" and "id" to a valid post id).

2) Input passed via the "topic" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/mingle-forum/feed.php, "id" parameter to
wpf-post.php (when "mingleforumaction" is set to "editpost"), and
"id" parameter to wpf-class.php (when "mingleforumaction" is set to
"profile") is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL
query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.0.27.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.27.
