Database disclosure and modification via column injection
Published Dec 17, 2025 · Updated Dec 17, 2025
SQL injection in PHPJabbers Simple CMS 5.0 allows remote authenticated users to read or alter database data through index.php. The pjActionGetFile request accepts the column GET value as a database expression, allowing boolean- and error-based payloads to alter query evaluation. The published request targets pjAdminFiles and includes active Simple CMS session cookies, so an authenticated administrative context is the demonstrated gate.
