CriticalPHP2Shell is fixed, but a researcher now claims six more unpatched PHP flaws. Nothing to do today, but PHP is not out of the woodsWhat to prepare
CVE-2025-54294CriticalCVSS 9.3CVE published 23 July 2025

Komento (com_komento) 4.0.0 to 4.0.7 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection (no fixed release)

Komento commenting component by StackIdeas. CVE-2025-54294: SQL injection exploitable by unprivileged users, affecting 4.0.0 to 4.0.7. There is no fixed release: 4.0.7 (28 December 2023) is the latest version StackIdeas has published, and the CVE record (published July 2025) lists 4.0.7 itself as vulnerable, so updating Komento cannot fix this. Remove Komento (and Foundry, if nothing else uses it) or replace it with another commenting extension.

Is my site affected?

Affected
Komento from 4.0.0 up to and including 4.0.7
Fixed in
A release after 4.0.7
What to do
Update Komento to the newest release from the vendor. This flaw covers versions up to 4.0.7, so any later release is outside it.
