CVE-2010-2851: SQL injection vulnerability in the BookLibrary From Same Author (com_booklibrary) module 1.5 and possibly e...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old SQL injection issue in a Joomla BookLibrary add-on module. If the vulnerable module is reachable, a remote attacker could manipulate a request parameter and make the site database run unintended SQL. The sources do not provide CVSS, confirmed exploitation, or a named vendor patch. Exposure is likely limited to Joomla sites running the BookLibrary From Same Author module, especially version 1.5 or earlier. Internet-facing legacy Joomla deployments and archived extension installs are the main concern. Organizations without Joomla or this module are not indicated as affected by the supplied sources. Treat this as a legacy web application risk. It is not flagged as actively exploited in the supplied evidence, but SQL injection can expose or alter database content. Prioritize remediation if the affected Joomla module is internet-facing or tied to sensitive data. Mitigation focus: Inventory Joomla sites for BookLibrary From Same Author module 1.5 or earlier.; Check vendor or Joomla extension guidance for a fixed release; sources do not name one.; Disable or remove the module if no maintained fixed version is available..
