Description

Invision Community before 4.7.16 allow SQL injection via the applications/nexus/modules/front/store/store.php IPS\nexus\modules\front\store\_store::_categoryView() method, where user input passed through the filter request parameter is not properly sanitized before being used to execute SQL queries. This can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to carry out Blind SQL Injection attacks.

• CWE-89Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')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. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
