Database disclosure via injectable task ordering clauses
Published Feb 18, 2025 · Updated Feb 18, 2025
SQL injection in Joomla! CMS 4.1.0 through 4.4.10 and 5.0.0 through 5.2.3 allows remote authenticated users to read database data. The com_scheduler backend task list improperly builds SQL order clauses from attacker-influenced ordering values, allowing those values to alter the generated query. Exploitation requires high-privilege backend access and active interaction, and the published impact is limited to database confidentiality.
