Security

A vulnerability in the BazaarBuilder Shopping Cart component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks, has been reported.

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


Security The RD-Autos component for Joomla! is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.

Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

This affects RD-Autos 1 5.2; other versions may also be affected.

 

SecurityThe 'com_fantasytournament' component for Joomla! is prone to multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitise user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.

Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

good practice Chad Windnagle writes over at The Joomla Community Portal of his recent pain after a site of a client of his was hacked.

The short version of his story is that he was using a demo Joomla installation of his as a base template to quickly set up a new site, complete with his "must have" extensions. A new site he brought online was quickly hacked, let me quote a little of his post:

"I decided to contact my hosting company to ask them if they had been having server issues or something of that nature. “Hacked” came the word back from the help desk. How could I be hacked? The site wasn’t even live and it was unlike any other hack I had ever seen. My support technician razed me about upgrades. Upgrades? “Who has time for those?” I complained. I have over 100 Joomla! sites, 20 of which are running Joomla! 1.5 and I’m supposed to keep them all running the latest version? The answer is simple: “Yes”. "
