-------- DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------------------------------

Spider Contacts module provides a user-friendly way to manage and display
contacts.

The module doesn't use Drupal's Database API properly, not sanitizing user
input on SQL queries and thereby exposing a SQL Injection vulnerability. This
vulnerability is mitigated by the fact that the attacker must have a role
with the permission "access Spider Contacts category administration".

Additionally, the module doesn't sufficiently protect some URLs against CSRF.
A malicious user could trick an administrator into deleting contact
categories by getting their browser to make a request to a specially-crafted
URL.
