VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37982/

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

Input passed via the "article_id" parameter to knowledgebase.php (if
"act" is set to "art") is not properly sanitised before being used in
SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is reported in version 4.4.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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