MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated exploitation against default configurations of the OrdaSoft Real Estate Manager (Free) Joomla extension prior to 6.7.9. The vulnerable order_field parameter is exposed on public, pre-authentication frontend pages (property listing, category browsing, and search results), so no login, user interaction, or non-default setting is required. The only prerequisites are that the extension is installed/enabled and its listing pages are reachable. The practical limiting factor is that the sink is an ORDER BY clause, which favors blind data-read techniques over direct data modification. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.3 (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) reflects an unauthenticated, network-reachable SQL injection with no user interaction - genuinely severe on paper. However, several real-world-risk moderators apply. Exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis': the input carries no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no POC reference (the only reference is the vendor homepage ordasoft.com with no dedicated advisory). The injection point is an ORDER BY clause, which is a real but comparatively constrained SQLi primitive: it supports blind/subquery-based and boolean/time-based extraction (justifying high confidentiality) but rarely yields data modification or destruction on Joomla's default mysqli stack, where stacked queries are disallowed - so the vendor's VI:H/VA:H (integrity and availability HIGH) appear inflated relative to a read-oriented ORDER BY injection. Net: this is a legitimate, easy-to-reach unauthenticated flaw, but the affected product is a niche third-party Joomla extension with a small deployment footprint, so the practical priority is moderate rather than critical. This is one of several near-identical OrdaSoft Joomla-extension ORDER BY SQLi disclosures reported via Joomla's CVE program (cf. Book Library Free, CVE-2026-101110). |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated visitor to a Joomla site running Real Estate Manager (Free) < 6.7.9 submits a crafted order_field value in a frontend property-listing, category-browse, or search request. Because order_field is concatenated directly into an unquoted ORDER BY clause with no column allow-list or cast, the attacker injects blind boolean/time-based subqueries to enumerate and exfiltrate database contents (user credentials, session data). No POC or active exploitation is currently documented. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 28, 2026
Unauthenticated SQL injection in the OrdaSoft Real Estate Manager (Free) extension for Joomla before 6.7.9 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary SQL through the order_field parameter, which is concatenated unquoted into the ORDER BY clause of three public frontend property-listing queries (category browsing, search results, and full listing). Because the injection point is exposed on pre-authentication pages with no login, user interaction, or non-default configuration required, any reachable installation is at risk; the assessed impact is high confidentiality loss (blind extraction of database contents), while the ORDER BY sink constrains the attacker to data-read techniques rather than direct modification. No public exploit code or confirmed in-the-wild exploitation was identified at time of analysis, and the only reference supplied is the vendor site, so patch status should be verified directly with OrdaSoft.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the OrdaSoft Real Estate Manager (Free) extension for Joomla to version 6.7.9 or later, which is the version boundary indicated by the affected range '< 6.7.9'; confirm availability and release notes with the vendor at https://www.ordasoft.com/, since no dedicated advisory URL was supplied. If immediate upgrading is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to remove the ordering capability from the public attack surface: disable or unpublish the extension's property listing, category browsing, and search result menu items so the vulnerable queries are no longer reachable, or place the site behind an authenticating reverse proxy / IP allow-list so the frontend listing pages are not exposed to untrusted clients - the trade-off is that this breaks the public-facing real-estate catalogue for legitimate visitors. If listing pages must remain public, deploy a WAF or reverse-proxy rule that rejects requests whose order_field parameter contains anything other than a short allow-listed set of expected column names (and blocks SQL keywords, comment sequences, and quote characters) - this is a stop-gap that depends on signature accuracy and can be bypassed by obfuscation, so it should not replace upgrading. Meanwhile, apply least privilege to the Joomla database user (no FILE, no write privileges to unrelated schemas) to limit what a blind SQL injection can read, and monitor database and web logs for anomalous order_field values; disabling the extension entirely is the safest fallback if none of the above can be applied promptly.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The fault class is CWE-89 (SQL Injection) arising from unsafe dynamic query construction in PHP. In site/realestatemanager.php, the component builds the ORDER BY clause of three separate property-listing queries - category browsing, search results, and the full listing view - directly from the request-controlled order_field parameter, concatenating it into the SQL string without quoting, without an allow-list of legitimate column names, and without a cast or integer validation. ORDER BY is a structural part of a statement rather than a value slot, so it cannot be parameterized with a simple placeholder; the standard defences are strict allow-listing of permitted sort columns/directions or forcing an integer index. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:ordasoft.com:real_estate_manager_(free)_extension_for_joomla confirms the affected component is the free OrdaSoft extension for the Joomla CMS, and because the vulnerable queries back public listing pages, the injection surface is reachable without any authenticated session. ORDER BY-based injection typically yields boolean- or time-based blind extraction of data from the underlying Joomla/MySQL database, which is why the authoritative assessment scores confidentiality as High (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) rather than assuming the integrity and availability impact stated in the vendor-facing CVSS 4.0 vector.

Executive ViewAI
OrdaSoft's Real Estate Manager (Free) extension for Joomla, which powers the public property-listing and search pages of many real estate websites, contains a critical flaw that would allow an outside party to read the contents of the site's backend database. Organizations running an affected version on any internet-reachable site are exposed, and the customer enquiries, contact details and listing data held in that database represent the primary business risk. No public exploit code or confirmed attack activity has been identified at the time of this analysis, giving leadership a brief window to remediate before the flaw becomes a routine target.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; the advisory references version 6.7.9 as the described fixed baseline and patch availability must be verified directly with OrdaSoft. Interim mitigations: virtual patching or WAF rules that reject, block or strictly whitelist the order_field parameter on the affected frontend listing, search and category routes; taking the affected property-listing and search pages offline or restricting them to authenticated or allow-listed users; restricting the extension's database account to read-only, least-privilege access on the minimum required tables; enabling detailed database query logging and monitoring for anomalous ORDER BY patterns or slow blind-extraction queries; and maintaining a documented watch on the vendor advisory for a fixed release.
