Joomla! JP Jobs Component "id" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39325

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39325/

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

Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_jp_jobs" and "view" is set to "detail") 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 confirmed in version 1.4.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

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