Hi,
I am a big fan of mobile joomla and I run it on my company's site. However when performing pen testing on the site I found one of the plugin files:

plugins/mobile/terawurfl/DatabaseConnectors/TeraWurflDatabase_MySQL5.php

to make it susceptible to SQL injection. This comes because of its error hadnling I will post the errors here but I will prefix the disclosure as storage path

<b>Warning</b>: mysqli::real_escape_string() [<a href='mysqli.real-escape-string'>mysqli.real-escape-string</a>]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in <b>Storagepath/plugins/mobile/terawurfl/DatabaseConnectors/TeraWurflDatabase_MySQL5.php</b> on line <b>537</b><br />

<b>Warning</b>: mysqli::query() [<a href='mysqli.query'>mysqli.query</a>]: Couldn't fetch mysqli in <b>Storagepath/plugins/mobile/terawurfl/DatabaseConnectors/TeraWurflDatabase_MySQL5.php</b> on line <b>353</b><br />

Based on your coding system could you help me debug this file so that it throws exceptions that don't reveal this kind of information. Thanks in advance

dryabov OFFLINE Administrator Denis Ryabov, Lead Developer Posts: 4867 Karma: 105	I asked you about version because of your line numbers don't correspond to my file. E.g., line 537 is return $row['value'];

psychmartianmuntopia OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Think Perfection, Think Skilled Soft Solutions Posts: 9 Karma: 0	okay I think the line in question is the one that does the validation before that: else if (!is_numeric($value) \|\| $value[0] == '0') $value = "'" . $this->dbcon->real_escape_string($value) . ;

That is what I need help with so that I tweak it.
