CVE-2017-20264

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Joomla! Component Sponsor Wall version 8.0

Description An SQL injection allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code. This is achieved by sending GET requests to the 'index.php' endpoint using the option=com sponsorwall&task=click&wallid parameter, specifically targeting the wallid variable. Successful exploitation enables the extraction of sensitive database information, such as credentials and configuration data.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the wallid parameter in the 'index.php' endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
