Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
 
 Input passed to the "cat_ID" parameter isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
 
 The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.5. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 1.5.1.2.

I committed 1.5.1.2 to the tree prior to this bug being created, so this should
be taken care of.
