        An unspecified flaw in the script 'administrator/index3.php'
        can be exploited to spoof session IDs.
    
      - Local File Disclosure Vulnerability
        The 'includes/DOMIT/testing_domit.php' script may be used
        to read the contents of local files such as Mambo's
        configuration file, which holds database credentials.
    
      - A SQL Injection Vulnerability
        The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied 
        input to the 'user_rating' parameter of the 
        'components/com_content/content.php' script before using 
        it in SQL statements.

        sanitize input, although it's unknown precisely
