Joomla! HM Community Component Script Insertion and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the HM Community component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed via the "language[]", "university[]", "persent[]", "company_name[]", "designation[]", "music[]", "books[]", "movies[]", "games[]", "syp[]", "ft[]", and "fa[]" parameters to index.php (when "option" is set to "com_hmcommunity", "view" is set to "profile", and "task" is set to "save") is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
2) Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (when "option" is set to "com_hmcommunity" and "view" is set to "fnd_home") is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.01.
