DESCRIPTION:
Valentin Hoebel has discovered a vulnerability in the BF Quiz
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "catid" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_bfquiztrial") is not properly sanitised before being used
in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.3.1.
