Database disclosure via injectable sortby ordering
Published May 13, 2026 · Updated May 13, 2026
SQL injection in JoomSky JS Jobs 1.3.0 allows remote authenticated users to read database data through a crafted sortby value. The administrator job-queue endpoint accepts the POST sortby parameter as a query-ordering value without neutralizing injected SQL syntax before database execution. A valid administrator session is required; the published proof of concept supplies its session cookie to sqlmap, which can enumerate database contents.
