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

Input passed to the "viewnews" parameter in news.php is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.7.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

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