Mambo/Joomla Glossary 'com_glossary' Component SQL Injection Vulnerability

The 'com_glossary' component for Mambo/Joomla is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.

Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

NOTE: The original report states that this issue affects 'com_glossary' 2.0. The vendor states that 2.02 is not affected due to the use of 'intval' and that 2.0 is not likely affected.
