Joomla Extension - yootheme.com - Unauthenticated SQL injection in ItemController::element() in Zoo < 4.1.64 - The filter_type request value is interpolated into the query as a.type = "..." and the type_filter array as a.type IN ("..."), with no quoting or escaping.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in the YOOtheme Zoo content-construction extension for Joomla allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL through the filter_type and type_filter request parameters, which are concatenated directly into a.type comparison clauses in ItemController::element() without quoting or escaping. All Zoo versions before 4.1.64 are affected, and because no authentication or user interaction is required, an attacker can read or manipulate the Joomla database over the network. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires only that the target Joomla site has the YOOtheme Zoo extension (version < 4.1.64) installed and that the vulnerable item element endpoint handling filter_type / type_filter is reachable - the default deployment for any Zoo-powered content view. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority issue rather than an inflated high-CVSS score. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to a Joomla site running Zoo, setting the filter_type (or type_filter[]) parameter to a payload that breaks out of the a.type = "..." string and appends a UNION-based or boolean/time-based subquery. With no authentication or user interaction required, the response (or timing) leaks database contents such as Joomla user tables and session data, and the attacker automates extraction across all reachable sites. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade the Zoo extension to version 4.1.64 or later, which is the fixed release (the advisory scope is 'Zoo < 4.1.64'); this is the primary and recommended fix. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, conduct a complete audit of your Joomla deployments to identify all systems running YOOtheme Zoo and document their version numbers. …
