Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in application/libraries/api/MY_Countries_Api_Object.php in the Ushahidi Platform before 2.5 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via vectors related to _get_countries functions.
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.
