HTTP: Joomla maplocator Component 'cid' Parameter SQL Injection
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Joomla's maplocator component. An attacker can exploit this issue by manipulating the SQL query logic to carry out unauthorized actions on the underlying database.
Extended Description
The 'com_maplocator' component for Joomla! is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query. Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
