Description:
rgod has discovered a vulnerability in My Little Forum, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "search" parameter in "search.php" when searching for a phrase isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.5. Version 1.6beta is reportedly also affected. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
