Software

Where

Impact
Exposure of sensitive information

Vulnerabilities where documents or credentials are leaked or can be revealed either locally or from remote.


Manipulation of data

This includes vulnerabilities where a user or a remote attacker can manipulate local data on a system, but not necessarily be able to gain escalated privileges or system access.

The most frequent type of vulnerabilities with this impact are SQL-injection vulnerabilities, where a malicious user or person can manipulate SQL queries.


Description

A vulnerability has been discovered in the Productbook component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "id" parameter in index.php (when "option" is set to "com_productbook") is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.4. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
