CVE-2008-1459: SQL injection vulnerability in the Alberghi (com_alberghi) 2.1.3 and earlier component for Mambo and Joomla!

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old SQL injection issue in the Alberghi component for Mambo and Joomla. If a public site still runs com_alberghi version 2.1.3 or earlier, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to manipulate database queries through a page parameter. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Mambo or Joomla installations that still have the Alberghi component installed and publicly reachable. The source bundle does not identify affected CPEs, maintained branches, or a fixed version. Prioritize remediation if any internet-facing legacy hospitality or booking site still uses this component. The business risk is unauthorized database access or modification, but urgency depends on confirmed deployment because the affected software is old and likely uncommon. Mitigation focus: Inventory Mambo and Joomla sites for com_alberghi installations.; Remove or disable com_alberghi if it is no longer required.; Check vendor or project guidance for any fixed or replacement release..
