VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30566/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:

SOFTWARE:
Rapid Recipe 1.x (component for Joomla)
http://secunia.com/product/17541/

DESCRIPTION:
His0k4 has discovered a vulnerability in the Rapid Recipe component
for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "recipe_id" parameter in the Joomla!
installation's index.php script (when "option" is set to
"com_rapidrecipe" and "page" to "viewrecipe") is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation allows e.g. retrieving administrator
usernames and password hashes, but requires knowledge of the database
table prefix.

The vulnerability is confirmed in versions 1.6.7 and 1.6.6. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a proxy.
