A recent security patch for the php-adodb library fixes vulnerabilities related to SQL injection threats. Understand the implications of this update and why it is crucial for developers.
Security fix for CVE-2016-7405

Summary

ADOdb is an object oriented library written in PHP that abstracts database

operations for portability. It is modelled on Microsoft's ADO, but has many

improvements that make it unique (eg. pivot tables, Active Record support,

generating HTML for paging recordsets with next and previous links, cached

recordsets, HTML menu generation, etc).

ADOdb hides the differences between the different databases so you can easily

switch DBs without changing code.
