CVE-2025-26855CriticalCVSS 9.8CVE published 18 July 2025Added to mySites.guru 18 July 2025

Articles Calendar (mod_articles_calendar) 1.0.1.0007 and below - Unauthenticated SQL Injection (Full Database Disclosure)

The Articles Calendar extension by JoomCar (joomcar.net), versions 1.0.0 through 1.0.1.0007, contains an SQL injection flaw reachable without authentication. An anonymous visitor can execute arbitrary SQL against the site database, which means full read access to every table including the Joomla user table and its password hashes. CVSS 9.8 (Critical). No fixed version has been published by the vendor. Remove the extension, or block access to it, until JoomCar ships a patched release. This rule covers the "Articles - Calendar" site module half of the package; the companion system plugin is covered by a separate rule on articlescalendar.
