Description

Joomla StreetGuessr Game 1.1.8 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the catid parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to index.php with the option=com_streetguess&view=maps parameters and inject SQL code in the catid parameter to extract sensitive database information including version and database names.

CWE-89

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

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.
