4) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in the BookLibrary
From Same Author module for Joomla, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (when "option" is set
to "com_booklibrary" and "task" is set to "view") is not properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
