================================================== ====================
3) Vendor's Description of Software
A light-weight open-source content management system (CMS) written

Product link:
http://www.php-fusion.co.uk/
================================================== ====================
4) Description of Vulnerabilities
Secunia Research has discovered two vulnerabilities in PHP-Fusion,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks.
Input passed to the "activate" parameter in "register.php" and the
"cat_id" parameter in "faq.php" isn't properly sanitised before being
used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 6.00.109. Other
versions may also be affected.
================================================== ====================
5) Solution
Update to version 6.00.110.
