DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Pligg, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
Input passed to the "username" parameter in login.php (when
"processlogin" is set to "4") 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 confirmed in version 1.0.4. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
