Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2018-6396 is a SQL Injection vulnerability in the Google Map Landkarten component for Joomla! (versions through 4.2.3). The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in the 'cid' or 'id' parameters when the action is layout=form_markers, and in the 'map' parameter when the action is layout=default. This allows an attacker to inject arbitrary SQL commands into the backend database.

This repository contains a Python exploit script (joomla-cve-2018-6396.py) targeting CVE-2018-6396, a SQL injection vulnerability in the Joomla! Google Map Landkarten component (versions <= 4.2.3). The script takes a target URL as input, checks if the endpoint is accessible, and if so, launches an SQL injection attack using sqlmap against the vulnerable parameter 'map' in the endpoint '/index.php?option=com_gmap&view=gm_modal&tmpl=component&layout=default&map=1'. The exploit automates the process of checking for vulnerability and, if found, leverages sqlmap to enumerate databases on the target. The repository also includes a README.md with usage instructions and background information. The exploit is operational, requiring the attacker to have sqlmap installed and the target to be accessible over the network.
