SQL injection vulnerability in the MambAds (com_mambads) component 1.0 RC1 Beta and 1.0 RC1 for Mambo allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the ma_cat parameter in a view action to index.php, a different vector than CVE-2007-5177.
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command 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.
