Joomla JS Jobs Plugin Vulnerability: When Job Hunting Takes a SQL Detour!
The Joomla JS Jobs plugin 1.4.2 has a vulnerability more effective than caffeine for waking up your database admin. An SQL injection via the ‘cvid’ parameter allows a jobseeker with default credentials to access sensitive data. Remember, this “jobseeker” is more interested in your database than your job postings!
Hot Take:
Oh Joomla, not again! The JS Jobs plugin finds itself in hot water with a splashy SQL injection vulnerability. Hackers looking for jobs? More like jobs looking for hackers! Time to patch things up before your database spills its secrets like a bad first date!
Key Points:
– SQL injection vulnerability present in Joomla’s JS Jobs plugin v1.4.2.
– Exploitable via the ‘cvid’ parameter by users with jobseeker credentials.
– Requires default jobseeker login credentials (jobseeker:demo) to exploit.
– Attack involves capturing and manipulating the “Apply Now” request.
