DescriptionCVE.org

Joomla Extension - phoca.cz - Unauthenticated SQL injection via attribute filter in Phoca Cart 5.0.0-6.1.16 - The a[] (attribute) and s[] (specification) GET array parameters on Phoca Cart's public shop items page are concatenated raw into SQL WHERE clauses without parameterization or escaping. An unauthenticated attacker can inject arbitrary SQL through these parameters, enabling full database extraction via time-based blind techniques.

AnalysisAI

SQL injection in Phoca Cart, an e-commerce extension for Joomla, allows unauthenticated remote attackers to extract the entire database via the public shop items page. Versions 5.0.0 through 6.1.16 concatenate the a[] (attribute) and s[] (specification) GET array parameters directly into SQL WHERE clauses, so an attacker can dump credentials and order data using time-based blind techniques. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires only that a Joomla site run Phoca Cart 5.0.0-6.1.16 with the public shop items page reachable (the default for any live storefront) and that requests reach the a[] (attribute) or s[] (specification) GET array parameters used by the item filter. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is a genuine high priority, not a paper tiger. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker browses to the target's public Phoca Cart shop page and submits a crafted request such as items?a[]=1) AND SLEEP(5)-- - , observing response-time delays to confirm blind SQL injection. They then automate boolean/time-based extraction (for example with sqlmap) against the a[] and s[] parameters to dump Joomla user password hashes, customer records, and order data. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; the only reference is the general product page at https://www.phoca.cz/phocacart, so administrators should check that page and the Joomla Extensions Directory for a release newer than 6.1.16 and upgrade to it as the primary fix once confirmed. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all systems running Phoca Cart and identify instances of affected versions 5.0.0-6.1.16; immediately deploy Web Application Firewall rules to block SQL metacharacters in a[] and s[] GET parameters on the public shop endpoint; consider network-level access restrictions to the e-commerce extension pending remediation. …
