DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in VicBlog, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed via the "tag" parameter to index.php (when "page" is set
to "posts") is not properly sanitised in the "prepare_input()"
function in include/functions.inc.php before being used in SQL
queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting
arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.0.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

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