SQL Injection vulnerability in com_newssearch component for Joomla!
The 'com_newssearch' component for Joomla! is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query. Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize and validate user-supplied input before using it in SQL queries. Additionally, using prepared statements or parameterized queries can help prevent SQL injection attacks.
