SQL Injection Vulnerability in Joomla com_alert Component
The 'com_alert' 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 user-supplied data before using it in SQL queries. Additionally, keeping the Joomla installation up to date with the latest security patches is advised.
