Joomla <2.5.1 time based sql injection
This exploit is a time-based SQL injection vulnerability in Joomla versions prior to 2.5.1. It allows an attacker to extract data from the database by using a sleep() function and not benchmark(), which is necessary for versions of MySQL prior to 5.0.12. The exploit requires the attacker to know the database name, the users data table name, and the admin password. The attacker can then use the load_file() function to extract the contents of any file on the server.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to Joomla version 2.5.1 or later.
