CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is an unauthenticated SQL injection in the Joomla extension JooDatabase Lite versions before 5.1.0. The cid parameter in queries is not properly validated, allowing attackers to inject malicious SQL code without authentication.

Detection Guidance

Check JooDatabase Lite versions prior to 5.1.0 for the vulnerable cid parameter in queries. Inspect web server logs for unusual SQL-like input in requests to JooDatabase endpoints. Use tools like SQLmap to test for SQL injection via the cid parameter.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could exploit this to access, modify, or delete sensitive data in the database, potentially leading to full system compromise. Unauthorized data exposure or manipulation is possible without any user interaction.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or leaks, violating GDPR's data protection requirements and HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Non-compliance risks legal penalties and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Update JooDatabase Lite to version 5.1.0 or later immediately. Disable or restrict access to JooDatabase components if an update is not immediately possible. Monitor network traffic for suspicious SQL query patterns targeting the cid parameter.
