Description:
Disfigure has discovered a vulnerability in Moodle, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed to the "tag" parameter in blog/index.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL commands.
Successful exploitation requires that the "blog" module is enabled.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.6.2. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
The vulnerability has been fixed in the CVS repository.
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
