ADOdb is vulnerable to SQL injections if used in conjunction with a PostgreSQL database.
ADOdb is an abstraction library for PHP creating a common API for a wide range of database backends.
Andy Staudacher discovered that ADOdb does not properly sanitize all parameters.
By sending specifically crafted requests to an application that uses ADOdb and a PostgreSQL backend, an attacker might exploit the flaw to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the host.

All ADOdb users should upgrade to the latest version:
