Description

PHP-Fusion contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the 'faq.php' script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'cat_id' variable. This may allow a remote attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the backend database.
