CVE-2026-88854 Details
Description
Joomla Extension - OrdaSoft.com - Unauthenticated SQL Injection in OrdaSoft Joomla Gallery extension for Joomla < 6.2.7 - The extensions showSearchResult() and showSearchResultAjax() read the textsearch/searchText request parameter with $input->getVar(), which is not a real Joomla filter method and falls through to a filter that strips HTML tags but does not touch quotes or SQL syntax. The value is concatenated directly into a LIKE clause with no escaping. The endpoint requires no login of any kind: mod_osgallery_search is a public, commonly-published search box. Any anonymous site visitor can inject a UNION SELECT and read arbitrary database content.
A vulnerability allowing unauthenticated SQL injection has been identified in the OrdaSoft Joomla Gallery extension for Joomla versions prior to 6.2.7. The issue arises in the 'showSearchResult()' and 'showSearchResultAjax()' functions, which improperly handle the 'textsearch' or 'searchText' request parameter. Instead of using a proper Joomla filter method, the input is passed through a filter that only removes HTML tags without addressing quotes or SQL syntax. This oversight allows the injected data to be directly concatenated into a SQL LIKE clause without any escaping. The vulnerable endpoint is publicly accessible and commonly used, enabling any anonymous visitor to exploit the flaw by injecting a UNION SELECT payload to retrieve arbitrary database information.
