DESCRIPTION:

can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks.
Input passed to the "search" parameter in search.asp when searching
for an exact phrase in the forum is not properly sanitised before
being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL
queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation requires that a forum has been setup.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 6.1 (Hotfix 2.9).
