Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability.

Description

The version of the Freestyle Testimonials component for Joomla! running on the remote host is affected by an unspecified SQL injection vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input before using it to construct database queries. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate database queries, resulting in disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, or other attacks against the underlying database.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the component's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Freestyle Testimonials version 1.9.2.1484 or later.
