Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in the Ushahidi Platform before 2.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors related to (1) the messages admin functionality in application/controllers/admin/messages.php, (2) application/libraries/api/MY_Checkin_Api_Object.php, (3) application/controllers/admin/messages/reporters.php, or (4) the location API in application/libraries/api/MY_Locations_Api_Object.php and application/models/location.php.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
