CVE-2016-15016

SQL injection via unquoted year filter

Published Jan 8, 2023 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

SQL injection in mrtnmtth Joomla Mod Einsatz Stats 0.1 and 0.2 allows attackers to alter database queries through the year input. The getAjax handler passes request data to getStatsByType, which concatenates the value into a helper.php LIKE clause without database quoting. Reachability requires a request to the module's AJAX handler, and resulting database access is bounded by the Joomla database account's privileges.
