Summary

The Gridbox extension for Joomla from balbooa.com is affected before 2.20.4.2. On store product list pages, the sort-by URL parameter reaches an ORDER BY clause without an allowlist check, which is an SQL injection flaw (CWE-89). An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted request to read, change or disrupt data in the database.

Description from the CNA

Joomla Extension - balbooa.com - Unauthenticated SQL injection in Gridbox < 2.20.4.2 - On store product list pages, the value of the sort-by URL parameter is retrieved using a string filter and passed directly to GridboxHelper::getBlogPosts(). When the parameter does not match known sorting keys, it is prefixed with a table alias and inserted into the ORDER BY clause without checking against an allowlist
