Joomla! Component SimpleCalendar 3.1.9 – SQL Injection
Joomla! Component SimpleCalendar 3.1.9 is vulnerable to SQL Injection. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious SQL queries into the application and gain access to sensitive data. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in the 'catid' parameter of the 'index.php' script. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request with malicious SQL code to the vulnerable application. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, modification of data, and even server compromise.
Mitigation:
Developers should always sanitize user-supplied input and use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks.
