--------------------------------------------------------------
Dotclear <= 2.6.2 (categories.php) SQL Injection Vulnerability
--------------------------------------------------------------

[-] Software Link:

http://dotclear.org/

[-] Affected Versions:

Version 2.6.2 and probably prior versions.

[-] Vulnerability Description:

The vulnerable code is located in /admin/categories.php:

70.	# Update order
71.	if (!empty($_POST['save_order']) && !empty($_POST['categories_order'])) {
72.		$categories = json_decode($_POST['categories_order']);
73.	
74.		foreach ($categories as $category) {
75.			if (!empty($category->item_id)) {
76.				$core->blog->updCategoryPosition($category->item_id, $category->left, $category->right);
77.			}
78.		}
79.	
80.		dcPage::addSuccessNotice(__('Categories have been successfully reordered.'));
81.		http::redirect('categories.php');
82.	}

User input passed through the $_POST['categories_order'] parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in a
call to the dcBlog::updCategoryPosition() method at line 76. This could be exploited to conduct SQL injection attacks
leveraging the UPDATE statement defined in the nestedTree::updatePosition() method. Successful exploitation of this
vulnerability requires an account with the “manage categories” permission.

[-] Solution:

Update to version 2.6.3.
