Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2008-6653 is a remote SQL injection issue in the Webhosting Component for Joomla! and Mambo. An exposed vulnerable component could let an attacker manipulate database queries through a web request. The source bundle does not provide CVSS, CWE, or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Joomla! or Mambo sites that still run the Webhosting Component com_webhosting before 1.1 RC7 and expose index.php publicly. The source bundle does not identify CPEs or a vendor-maintained affected-product list. Prioritize remediation for any internet-facing legacy CMS instance. The business risk is unauthorized database access or data manipulation, but urgency depends on whether this old component is still deployed. Mitigation focus: Inventory Joomla! and Mambo sites for the com_webhosting component.; Upgrade the Webhosting Component to 1.1 RC7 or later if available.; Remove or disable com_webhosting where it is not business-critical..
