Description
Joomla! Component Flip Wall 8.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the wallid parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to index.php with the option=com_flipwall&task=click&wallid parameter containing SQL injection payloads to extract sensitive database information.

Impact

Joomla! Component Flip Wall 8.0 contains a flaw where the wallid parameter is concatenated directly into an SQL query without proper sanitization. By crafting a GET request to index.php with option=com_flipwall, task=click, and a malicious wallid value, an attacker can execute arbitrary SQL queries. This enables extraction of sensitive database content and could serve as a foothold for further compromise, impacting confidentiality and potentially integrity of the application database. The vulnerability is a classic SQL injection (CWE-89).

Affected Systems

The affected product is Pulseextensions Flip Wall component used within Joomla CMS. The current public information specifies the vulnerable component version as 8.0; no additional sub‑release or build details are provided. Only unauthenticated access to the component's click task exposes the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates high severity, reflecting the unauthenticated remote exploitation and data impact. EPSS is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating no known active exploitation at this time. Nevertheless, the external validation from exploit-db and vulncheck confirms that an attacker can trigger the injection by sending a simple HTTP GET request; therefore the attack vector is accessible from the public internet without additional authentication or privileged access.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to the latest patched version of the Flip Wall component provided by Pulseextensions.
  • If an upgrade cannot occur immediately, block or heavily rate‑limit requests to the vulnerable endpoint (e.g., index.php?option=com_flipwall) from untrusted IPs or apply a WAF rule to filter out SQL injection patterns.
  • Ensure that the wallid parameter is properly validated and sanitized in the component’s code, using prepared statements or parameter binding to eliminate concatenation of user input into SQL queries.
  • Monitor application logs for anomalous query patterns or repeated failed database requests to detect attempted exploitation.
