## Technical details

An SQL injection vulnerability exists in the vReview component (v1.9.11) for Joomla due to improper neutralization of the 'cmId' parameter. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this by sending specially crafted POST requests to the 'editReview' task endpoint. By using URL-encoded SQL UNION statements, an attacker can bypass authentication and execute arbitrary queries to extract sensitive data from the database, such as usernames, password hashes, and system metadata. The vulnerability also appears to affect the 'displayRecords' task via the 'profileid' parameter.
