Joomla components suffer SQL injection risks.

Three Joomla components have been found to have some serious security issues, all three are susceptible to remote SQL injection via HTML GET. All three scripts, Joomla iDoBlog, Joomla Radio, and Joomla Quotes have the SQL injection exploit. This exploit was released today while yesterday two other Joomla components had similar issues with SQL injection.
The recent SQL injection exploits on these components raises the question of integrity and security of the software. As it stands now, users shouldn’t be using Joomla components if they don’t how to check for these sort of exploits.
SQL can be passed to all three components through the id argument.
