CVE-2019-25752: Joomla! Component J-BusinessDirectory 4.9.7 SQL Injection

Joomla! Component J-BusinessDirectory 4.9.7 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the type parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to index.php with the option=com_jbusinessdirectory&task=categories.getCategories parameters and inject UNION-based SQL statements in the type parameter to extract database information including schema names and sensitive data.

Glexia's TakeAutomated analysis

Security readout for executives and security teams

A Joomla site using Cmsjunkie J-BusinessDirectory 4.9.7 may allow outsiders to query its database without logging in. The main business concern is data exposure from public websites that still run this component. The bundle confirms a public exploit reference, but does not confirm active exploitation. Exposure is limited to Joomla installations with Cmsjunkie J-BusinessDirectory version 4.9.7, especially internet-facing sites. The bundle does not identify other affected versions or CPEs. Treat as a high-priority website data exposure issue. Prioritize externally reachable Joomla sites because exploitation requires no account and could disclose sensitive database contents. Mitigation focus: Inventory Joomla sites for J-BusinessDirectory 4.9.7.; Check Cmsjunkie or Joomla extension guidance for a fixed version.; Upgrade if the vendor identifies a patched release..
