Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: joomshaper.com
Product: SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) extension for Joomla

Description

Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Authenticated Privileged SQL Injection in the Content Plugin of SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) 5.2.1 - 6.9.0 - plgContentSppagebuilder::onContentAfterSave() read jform[attribs][sppagebuilder_article_id] from the request and concatenated it directly into the WHERE view_id = ... clause of a query against #__sppagebuilder without quoting or type casting. Joomla's ARRAY input filter does not sanitise element values, as InputFilter::clean() returns (array) $source with the elements untouched, so the entire payload could be delivered in a single POST field. The affected block also executed before the com_content.article context test, so it ran on every onContentAfterSave event regardless of which component triggered the save. An attacker could perform time-based blind SQL injection to read arbitrary database contents, including the #__users and #__session tables.

Technical Analysis

The SP Page Builder extension for Joomla (versions 5.2.1 to 6.9.0) contains an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the Content Plugin. The onContentAfterSave() method reads the jform[attribs][sppagebuilder_article_id] parameter from the request and concatenates it directly into a SQL WHERE clause without quoting or type casting. Joomla's ARRAY input filter does not sanitize element values, allowing the entire malicious payload to be delivered in a single POST field. This vulnerable code executes on every onContentAfterSave event regardless of the triggering component, enabling an attacker with privileged access to perform time-based blind SQL injection to extract arbitrary database data, including sensitive user and session information.

Potential Impact

An attacker with authenticated privileged access can exploit this vulnerability to perform time-based blind SQL injection attacks, potentially extracting sensitive database information such as user credentials and session data. This could lead to unauthorized data disclosure and compromise of the Joomla site.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict privileged user access to trusted individuals only and monitor for unusual activity related to the SP Page Builder extension. Avoid using vulnerable versions if possible.
