Title: Joomla! and Mambo com_filebase Component 'filecatid' Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

The 'com_filebase' component is a module for the Joomla! and Mambo content managers.

The application is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data to the 'filecatid' parameter of the 'com_filebase' module before using it in an SQL query.

A successful exploit may allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

Affected Products:

  • Joomla com_filebase Component
  • Mambo com_filebase Component
