DESCRIPTION:
boom3rang has reported a vulnerability in the Volunteer Management
System component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "job_id" parameter to index.php (when "option"
is set to "com_volunteer" and "task" is set to "jobs") 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 2.0. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
