Description:
Ehsan_Hp200 has reported a vulnerability in the BookCatalog module for PHP-Nuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "catid" parameter via modules.php (when "name" is set to "BookCatalog" and "op" is set to "category") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
