Title: Joomla! and Mambo YNews Component 'id' Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
YNews is a news script component for the Joomla! and Mambo content managers.
The application is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'id' parameter of the 'index.php' script when the 'options' parameter is set to 'com_ynews'.
A successful exploit of this vulnerability could permit remote attackers to pass malicious input to database queries, resulting in the modification of query logic or other attacks.
This issue affects YNews 1.0.0; other versions may also be affected.
Affected Products:
- Manuel Kaspar YNews 1.0.0
