Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Utopia News Pro version 1.1.4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is possible via several parameters in different files, including the newsid parameter in "editnews.php", the catid and question parameters in "faq.php", the poster parameter in "postnews.php", the tempid parameter in "templates.php", and the userid and groupid parameters in "users.php".

Recommendations For Utopia News Pro version 1.1.4, consider restricting access to the vulnerable parameters newsid, catid, question, poster, tempid, userid, and groupid in their respective files until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using these parameters in the affected API endpoints. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
