SQL injection vulnerability in the Simple Shop Galore (com_simpleshop) component for Joomla! allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the section parameter in a section action to index.php, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2568. NOTE: this issue was disclosed by an unreliable researcher, so the details might be incorrect.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
