Summary
CVE-2026-78082 is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the SP Property extension for Joomla, developed by joomshaper.com. The flaw resides in the property search and listing query builders, which concatenate user-supplied request parameters directly into SQL statements without sanitization. It affects versions 1.0.0 through 4.1.3 and carries a critical severity rating.
Technical details
- Root cause: the property search and map filtering functionality builds SQL WHERE and ORDER BY clauses by directly concatenating unquoted, user-controlled request parameters.
- Vulnerable parameters include
zipcode,sorting,price_range_dropdown, andpsize_range_dropdown. - Attack vector: network-reachable, requires no authentication and no user interaction; an attacker submits crafted values for the affected parameters to the property search/listing endpoints.
- Impact: boolean-based or time-based blind SQL injection, allowing extraction of sensitive data from the underlying database.
- Weakness classification: CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command).
Affected software
- SP Property extension for Joomla (joomshaper.com), versions 1.0.0 through 4.1.3
Severity
- CVSS Score: 9.3 (Critical)
- CVSS Vector:
CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: upgrade SP Property to version 4.1.4 or later, which addresses the SQL injection flaw.
- If immediate patching is not possible, restrict or disable public access to the property search and map filtering endpoints, and deploy a web application firewall rule to block anomalous input in the
zipcode,sorting,price_range_dropdown, andpsize_range_dropdownparameters until the update can be applied.
