CVE-2026-78072HighPublished 28 August 2026
Sexy Polling Reloaded (com_sexypolling) below 5.0.6.1 (Joomla 3.10 and 4) - Unauthenticated Blind SQL Injection
Sexy Polling Reloaded contains a blind SQL injection that needs no login, no token and no user interaction (CVSS 4.0 vector PR:N, base score 8.7 High), allowing an anonymous visitor to read arbitrary data from the site database. Reported by Krzysztof Zajac of CERT PL. The vendor, Jefferson49, maintains two parallel release lines and shipped the fix to both on 2026-07-25: 5.0.6.1 for the Joomla 3.10 and 4 line, and 5.6.1 for the Joomla 4, 5 and 6 line. Because 5.0.6.1 sorts below 5.6.1, a single rule written to the CVE ceiling of 5.6.1 would wrongly flag the patched legacy build, so this advisory is split into one rule per branch.
Affected versions: ≥ 1.0.0 and < 5.0.6.1
Official record: cve.org · NVD
