DGNews contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the news.php script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'catid' or 'newsid' variables. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database. Additionally, the crafted input is sent back to the browser without filtering allowing for cross site scripting attacks. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
