====================
SQL Injection


Product & Service Introduction:
===============================
Tag Meta allows to efficiently manage all site`s meta information. With Tag 
Meta, as example, it is possible to set the 
tag `title` or the meta tags (e.g. from the most common `description`, 
`keywords`, `robots`, as well as the recently 
`content rights` and `external reference`) or link `canonical` on any page, 
just specifying the URL or a part of it. 
This provides a swiss army knife to improve site positioning in SEO 
optimization. But Tag Meta also supports regular 
expressions in the matching rules and this allows to match a group of URLs with 
a single rule. In this way it is 
possible to manage metadata from a single control panel.

Technical Details & Description:
================================
A remote sql-injection web vulnerability has been discovered in the official 
Joomla CMS com_tag (meta) component.
The issue allows remote attackers to execute own malicious sql commands to 
compromise the web-application or dbms.

The sql-injection vulnerability is located in the `tag` parameter of the 
`com_tag` joomla web module. The request method 
to execute is GET and the attack vector is client-side. Remote attackers are 
able to inject own malicious sql commands 
via vulnerable `tag` parameter to compromise the web-application or dbms. The 
web vulnerability is a classic sql-injection 
in the joomla content management system `com_tag (meta)` component.

The security risk of the vulnerability is estimated as high with a common 
vulnerability scoring system count of 6.6. 
Exploitation of the sql-injection vulnerability requires no privilege 
web-application user account or user interaction. 
Successful exploitation of the web vulnerability results in web-application or 
database management system compromise.
