- Vulnerability Description
============================
During the security analysis, ThunderScan discovered multiple SQL
injection vulnerabilities in SugarCRM Community Edition.
3.1 SQL injection in parameter $_REQUEST['track']
Vulnerable Function: $db->query()
Vulnerable Variable: $_REQUEST['track']

} else {

}else{

//pass in with id set to string 'BANNER'
$keys=log_campaign_activity('BANNER','link',true,$track);

be used for tracker id purposes

$identifier = $enc_id;
//if user has chosen to not use this mode of id generation,
then replace identifier with plain guid.
//difference is that guid will generate a new campaign log for
EACH CLICK!!
//encrypted generation will generate 1 campaign log and update
the hit counter for each click
