Description:
wkr has reported a vulnerability in Confixx, allowing malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

The problem is that input passed to the "db" parameter in "db_mysql_loeschen2.php" isn't properly verified before it is used in an SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate the SQL query by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.0. Other versions may also be affected.

It has also been reported that a debugging tool can be exploited to read arbitrary files.

Solution:
Update to version 3.0.1 build 20040408.19 or 2.0.12 build 20040319.20.

Provided and/or discovered by:
wkr

Changelog:
2006-04-12: Updated "Solution" section and added Confixx Pro 3 as affected.
