CVE-2026-75954: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in cmsjunkie.com J-BusinessDirectory extension for Joomla
A critical SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) exists in the cmsjunkie.com J-BusinessDirectory extension for Joomla versions 1.0.0 through 6.2.2. The flaw occurs in the trips search functionality where search keywords and ORDER BY clauses are concatenated directly into SQL queries without proper sanitization. Version 6.2.3 addresses this by quoting keywords and allow-listing the sort clause to prevent injection.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The J-BusinessDirectory extension for Joomla, developed by cmsjunkie.com, contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the trips search feature in versions 1.0.0 through 6.2.2. This vulnerability arises because search keywords and ORDER BY parameters are concatenated into SQL statements without adequate neutralization of special elements, allowing attackers to manipulate the SQL query. The issue is fixed in version 6.2.3, which implements quoting of keywords and restricts the ORDER BY clause to an allow-list, mitigating the injection risk.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the backend database, potentially leading to data disclosure, data modification, or denial of service. The CVSS 4.0 score of 9.3 reflects a critical severity with network attack vector, no privileges or user interaction required, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade the J-BusinessDirectory extension to version 6.2.3 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed by quoting search keywords and allow-listing the ORDER BY clause. No other mitigation is indicated by the vendor advisory.
