## Technical details

An SQL injection vulnerability exists in the jCart component for Joomla (specifically version 2.0) due to improper neutralization of the 'product_id' parameter. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted GET request to index.php with the parameters 'option=com_jcart&route=product/product'. By injecting malicious SQL code into the 'product_id' field, the attacker can manipulate backend database queries to exfiltrate sensitive data. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-89 and has been verified in public exploit databases.
