Manipulation of data

DESCRIPTION:
Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu has reported a vulnerability in DSCounter, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks.

Input passed to the "X-Forwarded-For" HTTP header 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.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.2. Other versions
may also be affected.

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