Joomla! Q-Personel Component "katid" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39445

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39445/

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

Input passed via the "katid" parameter to index.php (if "option" is
set to "com_qpersonel" and "task" is set to "qpListele") 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 1.0.2 (RC1). Other versions
may also be affected.

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