## Technical details

An SQL injection vulnerability exists in the Wdmtech vRestaurant component (version 1.9.4) for Joomla. The flaw is located within the 'menu-listing-layout' endpoint, specifically due to improper neutralization of the 'keysearch' parameter in POST requests. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted SQL payloads to the vulnerable endpoint. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to bypass authentication, extract database schema information (such as table names), and retrieve sensitive data from the underlying database. Public exploit code (PoC) has been available since 2019.
