DESCRIPTION:
ajann has reported a vulnerability in the Nice Talk component for
Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can
be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL
code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 0.9.3. Other versions may
