Description:
Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in PHP-Fusion, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "activate" parameter in "register.php" and the "cat_id" parameter in "faq.php" 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 vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 6.00.109. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 6.00.110.
