Mambo Foundation · Mambo · CVE-2008-6653
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Joomla! and Mambo com webhosting module versions prior to 1.1 RC7
**Description**
A SQL injection issue exists, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is achieved by manipulating the `catid` parameter in the "index.php" endpoint.

For versions prior to 1.1 RC7, update to version 1.1 RC7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `catid` parameter in the "index.php" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
