Joomla SQL Injection (com_pcchess)
An attacker can exploit a SQL injection vulnerability in the com_pcchess component of Joomla! to gain access to the username and password of the administrator. The vulnerable parameter is the ‘user_id’ parameter which is passed to the ‘index.php’ script. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing malicious SQL statements to the vulnerable script. The malicious SQL statement can be used to extract the username and password of the administrator from the ‘jos_users’ table.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of Joomla! and ensure that all components are up to date.
