Overview
JoomCCK is a Joomla extension from Joomcoder. According to the record, a front-end controller task builds two SQL statements by placing a user-supplied request parameter directly into the query text, without escaping or parameterisation. This matches the CWE-89 SQL Injection weakness listed in the record.
Impact
- The CNA scores the issue at 9.8 under CVSS 3.1 with vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. Reading the vector, this indicates network reachability, low complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact (inference from the vector).
- The Joomla security contact also provides a 4.0 score of 8.7.
- The record does not describe which data could be exposed or which actions could be achieved. This is unknown.
Affected products and versions

Exploitation status
- This CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog in the record. No confirmed exploitation appears in the sources consulted.
- The record gives an EPSS probability of 0.00564 and a percentile of 0.45376.
Remediation and mitigation
- The record contains no fixed version and no vendor patch reference. Treat this as unknown, not as proof that no fix exists.
- Contact Joomcoder through its website for update information and confirm the installed JoomCCK version.
- Until a fix is verified, consider limiting exposure of the affected front-end functionality, reviewing whether the extension is still needed, and keeping the database account used by the site at least privilege.
Detection guidance
- Inventory Joomla sites that have JoomCCK installed and record their versions.
- Review web server and application logs for unusual or malformed parameters sent to JoomCCK front-end endpoints.
- Watch for database errors that reference unexpected query syntax, since these can signal injection attempts.
Limitations of the available information
- The record provides no fixed version, no exploitation evidence, no detailed exploit conditions and no vendor advisory beyond the product homepage.
- The specific component or endpoint is not named.
- The EPSS date in the record (2026-10-13) is later than the publication date (2026-06-28), so the EPSS figures should be interpreted with caution.
