AI Analysis

Impact

Unauthenticated SQL injection is present in the Fabrik extension for Joomla when the order parameter in list models is used without validation. Attackers can supply arbitrary ORDER BY clauses to the database, allowing read SQLi vectors. The underlying weakness is a classic SQL injection flaw (CWE-89) that allows unauthenticated users to read data from the database through crafted web requests.

Affected Systems

Fabrik extension for Joomla, supplied by fabrikar.com, is affected in versions earlier than 4.7.2. Joomla sites deploying any Fabrik build below 4.7.2 expose this vulnerability and must update to the latest release to receive the patch that validates the order parameter.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 9.3, indicating critical impact. EPSS is unavailable, but the lack of authentication requirement and remote exploitation via standard web requests mean the risk is high. Since the vulnerability is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, no known exploits are recorded yet, but the attack vector is plausible for any publicly accessible Joomla site using the vulnerable Fabrik extension.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Fabrik extension to version 4.7.2 or later, which includes input validation for the order parameter.
  • If an immediate update is not possible, block or filter the ORDER BY input using a web application firewall or server rule to remove unsanitized order clauses.
  • Review and disable any unused list models or parameters that expose the vulnerable order field to reduce the attack surface.
