DESCRIPTION:
r0t has discovered some vulnerabilities in sNews, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed to the "id" and "category" parameters in "index.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.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.3. Other
versions may also be affected.

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