Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the target Joomla site has the Fabrik extension installed at a version at or below 4.7.3 and exposes a Fabrik list whose filter functionality is reachable by the attacker; the specific trigger is supplying a crafted value in the list filter's 'condition' parameter, which reaches getFilterQuery() and is concatenated into the WHERE clause. No authentication, no privileges, and no user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N), and it works over the network against a normally deployed list view. The main limiting factor is deployment-specific: a site with no publicly accessible Fabrik list, or with the filter/list restricted behind authentication, reduces or removes the exposed surface.

Impact

The signals point to a genuinely high-priority, easily exploitable flaw for anyone running Fabrik. The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, score 9.3) reflects network reachability, low complexity, and no privileges or interaction, which is consistent with the 'unauthenticated' framing and the description. One discrepancy worth flagging: the input vector rates integrity and availability as high (VI:H/VA:H), yet the description states the impact is 'full read of the database' - a read-only SELECT-clause injection. Unless the injection can be leveraged into stacked writes or DoS, the confidentiality impact is High while integrity/availability impact is likely overstated in the provided vector; my independent assessment lowers I and A accordingly. No EPSS probability and no KEV listing were provided, so real-world exploitation volume is unquantified - but the ease of exploitation and the value of full database read make this a patch-now item regardless.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker browses to a public Joomla page rendering a Fabrik list, then manipulates the list-filter request so the 'condition' parameter carries crafted SQL (e.g., a UNION-based or boolean/time-based payload). Because the value is concatenated straight into the WHERE clause, the attacker extracts arbitrary tables - Joomla user records, session tokens, and configuration secrets. No exploit code is publicly identified at time of analysis, but the low complexity makes weaponization straightforward.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 22, 2026

Unauthenticated SQL injection in the Fabrik application-builder extension for Joomla (versions 1.0.0 through 4.7.3, fixed in 4.7.3) lets remote attackers read the entire backing database. The flaw sits in getFilterQuery(), where the user-controlled list-filter 'condition' parameter is concatenated verbatim into a WHERE clause, so no authentication or user interaction is needed. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; not listed in CISA KEV, and no EPSS score was provided.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Fabrik to version 4.7.3, which per the affected-range data ('< 4.7.3') is the first fixed release - cite the vendor at https://www.fabrikar.com/ for the release, as no dedicated advisory URL was provided in the input and the exact patched build should be confirmed with the vendor. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict or disable public access to Fabrik list views and their filter functionality (for example, require authentication on affected menu items or take the list components offline), since the filter endpoint is the attack surface; be aware this breaks legitimate front-end filtering and search for site visitors. As a compensating control, place a WAF rule in front of the list-filter request parameters to block SQL metacharacters in the 'condition' input, accepting that WAF signatures can be bypassed and are not a substitute for the fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Fabrik is a Joomla extension for building data-driven applications, forms, and lists backed by database tables. The vulnerable code path is the list-filter feature: getFilterQuery() constructs a SQL WHERE clause dynamically, and the attacker-supplied 'condition' parameter is inserted through direct string concatenation rather than a parameterized query or an allow-list of operators. This is a textbook CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) defect - the root cause is trusting request input as SQL syntax. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:fabrikar.com:fabrik_extension_for_joomla, meaning any Joomla site running Fabrik at or below 4.7.3 exposes this filter interface.

DescriptionCVE.org

Joomla Extension - fabrikar.com - Unauthenticated SQL injection in list filter condition parameter in Fabrik < 4.7.3 - The condition parameter passed to a list filter is concatenated verbatim into the WHERE clause built by getFilterQuery(). An unauthenticated attacker can supply arbitrary SQL through the filter condition, giving full read of the database.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Any organization running the Fabrik extension for Joomla faces a critical data breach risk, as unauthenticated attackers can directly access their entire database without any authentication or interaction required. This vulnerability affects all widely-deployed versions of Fabrik and could expose customer data, financial records, user credentials, and proprietary information to any internet-connected attacker. Immediate patching to version 4.7.3 or later is essential to eliminate this exposure.
