Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in Moodle 1.6.1 (Learning Management Software). This issue affects the function insert_record in the library lib/adodb/adodb-lib.inc.php. The manipulation of the argument blogentry with an unknown input leads to a sql injection vulnerability (Stored). Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-89. The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

SQL injection vulnerability in blog/edit.php in Moodle 1.6.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the format parameter as stored in the $blogEntry variable, which is not properly handled by the insert_record function, which calls _adodb_column_sql in the adodb layer (lib/adodb/adodb-lib.inc.php), which does not convert the data type to an int.
