CVE-2026-88855 — Joomla Extension - OrdaSoft.com - Authenticated, Privileged SQL Injection in OrdaSoft Joomla Gallery extension for Joomla < 6.2.7
Joomla Extension - OrdaSoft.com - Authenticated, Privileged SQL Injection in OrdaSoft Joomla Gallery extension for Joomla < 6.2.7 - The extensions saveGallery() passes form data through a hand-rolled parser into Joomla’s Input object, then reads it back with the ARRAY/ STRING filter types, neither of which sanitises SQL content. Values from category_names[], catOrderIds, and image-ordering fields were concatenated directly into SQL with no quoting or integer cast, giving an authenticated core.manage user (a permission scoped to managing one gallery component, not administrator-wide trust) full read/write access to the database, including UNION-based extraction of #__users password hashes.
Who exploits it and how urgent it is
A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.
How the score was calculated
- EPSS 0.4% (30-day exploitation probability)+4
- Technical severity (high)+6
The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).
Triage
Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.
CISA SSVC assessment CISA
Three decision points CISA publishes for the CVEs it assesses (SSVC 2.0.3). A stakeholder decision, not a severity score.
Remediation
Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.
No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.
First 24 hours
Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.
- Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Ordasoft.com OrdaSoft Joomla Gallery extension for Joomla, Ordasoft.com OrdaSoft Joomla Gallery free extension for Joomla).
- No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
- Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (injection), errors and authentication anomalies.

Detection
Read off the CVSS vector and the weakness class. Starting points, not tested rules.
- Prioritize edge telemetry for the network-reachable component (proxy, WAF, IDS/IPS).
- Look for parameters with command/query metacharacters and unexpected child processes of the service.
