CVE-2026-88854

CriticalCVSS 9.3
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the OrdaSoft Joomla Gallery extension for Joomla versions below 6.2.7, an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability was found. The showSearchResult() and showSearchResultAjax() functions read the textsearch/searchText request parameter with $input->getVar(), which is not a real Joomla filter method and only strips HTML tags but does not touch quotes or SQL syntax. The value is concatenated directly into a LIKE clause with no escaping. The endpoint requires no login, and the search module is public.

Risk Assessment

Any anonymous visitor can inject a UNION SELECT and read arbitrary database content, including user passwords, leading to data confidentiality breach.

Recommendation

Immediately update the extension to version 6.2.7 or later. Additionally, consider restricting access to public search modules or deploying a web application firewall (WAF).
