AChecker 1.2 Multiple Error-Based SQL Injection vulnerabilities
Vendor: ATutor (Inclusive Design Institute)
Product web page: http://www.atutor.ca
Affected version: 1.2 (build r530)
Summary: AChecker is an open source Web accessibility evaluation tool.
It can be used to review the accessibility of Web pages based on a variety
international accessibility guidelines.
Desc: Input passed via the parameter 'myown_patch_id' in '/updater/patch_edit.php'
and the parameter 'id' in '/user/user_create_edit.php' script is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate
SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
