DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Search Log component for
Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL
injection attacks.

Input passed via the "search" parameter to administrator/index.php
(when "option" is set to "com_searchlog" and "act" is set to "log")
is not 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 "Public Back-end" permissions.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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