Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Joomla! (affected versions not specified) Mambo (affected versions not specified)

Description A SQL injection issue exists, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This is achieved by manipulating the id parameter in the index.php file, specifically targeting the com detail component. It is noted that this issue might be site-specific.

Recommendations For Joomla!, consider restricting access to the com detail component until a fix is available. For Mambo, avoid using the id parameter in the index.php file for the com detail component until the issue is resolved. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the com detail component in both Joomla! and Mambo to minimize the risk of exploitation.
