Discussion

Joomla Live Chat Multiple SQL Injection and Open Proxy Vulnerabilities

Joomla Live Chat is prone to multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities and an open-proxy vulnerability because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

Exploiting these issues could allow attackers to perform certain proxy actions, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
