CVE-2019-25755: Joomla vReview 1.9.11 SQL Injection via editReview
Joomla Component vReview 1.9.11 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the cmId parameter. Attackers can send POST requests to the editReview task endpoint with URL-encoded SQL UNION statements in the cmId parameter to extract database information including usernames, passwords, and database versions.
Security readout for executives and security teams
This flaw affects Wdmtech vReview 1.9.11 for Joomla. An unauthenticated attacker could manipulate a review-edit request to run database queries and potentially expose usernames, password hashes, and database details. The bundle includes a public exploit reference but no evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is limited to Joomla sites using Wdmtech vReview version 1.9.11. Risk is highest where the component is internet-facing and still enabled. The source bundle does not identify other affected versions or a confirmed fixed release. Prioritize within the current remediation cycle for any public Joomla site running vReview 1.9.11. The issue is unauthenticated, high-confidentiality impact, and publicly documented, but the provided evidence does not prove active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Inventory Joomla sites for Wdmtech vReview 1.9.11.; Disable or remove vReview if it is not business-critical.; Check Wdmtech and Joomla extension guidance for a fixed or supported release..

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.
