Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) SQL injection (CVE-ID: N/A)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands in web application database.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input passed via the “tag” HTTP GET parameter to "/index.php" script (when option=com_joomblog and task=tag). A remote unauthenticated attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP GET request to vulnerable script and execute arbitrary SQL queries.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to compromise vulnerable website.
