CVE-2026-88854Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated database disclosure via unescaped search input

Published Sep 20, 2026 · Updated Sep 20, 2026

SQL injection in OrdaSoft Joomla Gallery and Gallery Free 1.0.0 through 6.2.6 allows remote attackers to read database content. The showSearchResult() and showSearchResultAjax() functions accept textsearch or searchText through getVar(), then concatenate the value into a LIKE clause without SQL escaping. Exploitation requires only network access to a site exposing the public mod_osgallery_search box; no login or user interaction is required, and the demonstrated consequence is arbitrary database disclosure.
