AChecker 1.2 Multiple Error-Based SQL Injection vulnerabilities

Input passed via the parameter 'myown_patch_id' in '/updater/patch_edit.php' and the parameter 'id' in '/user/user_create_edit.php' script is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be performed to ensure that untrusted data is not used to modify SQL queries in a way that would allow an attacker to access or modify data.
