Description:
r0t has reported two vulnerabilities in A-FAQ, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed to the "faqid" parameter in "faqDspItem.asp" and the "catcode" parameter in "faqDsp.asp" isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.0 and prior. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
