A delayed FYI:
The term "injection attack" generally means "SQL injection attack", hence
so many people here talking about properly escaping data heading to your
database. Sometimes it means "HTML injection attack", leading to others
talking about how to escape HTML when generating pages.
Sounds like your issue turned out to be a plain old bug / programming
logic flaw.
