Possible Fixes: The usage of htmlspeacialchars(), mysql_escape_string(), mysql_real_escape_string() and other functions for input validation before passing user input to the mysql database, or before echoing data on the screen, would solve these problems.

On April 13, 2005, Diabolic Crab reported several vulnerabilities in phpBB
Plus and other modules. From the post:

: Photo Album v2.0.53
:
: http://localhost/album_search.php?mode='SQL_INJECTION&search=dcrab
: SQL INJECTION

Looking at the vendor site [1], you can download the 2.0.53 version of
this module (album_v2053.zip) and browse the files included. There is no
"album_search.php" in it. This was confirmed by Smartor (the vendor) on
May 22, 2005.
