Joomla Component J-ClassifiedsManager 3.0.5 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through POST parameters. Attackers can submit crafted SQL payloads in the categorySearch, adType, and citySearch parameters to the displayads component to extract sensitive database information including usernames, databases, and version details.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This flaw lets unauthenticated internet users make a Joomla classifieds extension ask its database unintended questions. Successful abuse could expose usernames, database names, and software version details. The provided sources identify Cmsjunkie ClassifiedsManager/J-ClassifiedsManager 3.0.5 as affected. Exposure is likely limited to public Joomla sites running Cmsjunkie ClassifiedsManager/J-ClassifiedsManager version 3.0.5. Sites without that extension, or running a different confirmed-safe version, are not shown as affected by the provided sources. Treat this as a near-term remediation item for any public Joomla site using the affected extension. The risk is data exposure without authentication, but the provided sources do not establish active exploitation or a named fixed release. Mitigation focus: Inventory Joomla sites for J-ClassifiedsManager or ClassifiedsManager 3.0.5.; Check Cmsjunkie, Joomla Extensions Directory, and VulnCheck for vendor remediation guidance.; Disable or remove the extension if it is not business-critical..

CWE-89: Database access and collection lookup
Injection into data stores can inform collection, data access, and exfiltration detection reviews. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references database injection or access, so collection and exfiltration review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
