CVE-2010-4720
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedSQL injection vulnerability in the JExtensions JE Auto (com_jeauto) component before 1.1 for Joomla! allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors related to the view item page.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify JE Auto component is installedLocate the com_jeauto component directory in the Joomla installation, typically found at /components/com_jeauto/ or check via Joomla admin component managerAffected if The com_jeauto directory exists in the Joomla components folder
-
Identify installed JE Auto versionCheck the manifest file (typically manifest.xml or jeauto.xml) within the com_jeauto directory for the version attribute, or inspect any version.php file in the componentAffected if Version is 1.0 or lower (1.0, 0.x, or unspecified version prior to 1.1)
-
Confirm view item page functionality existsInspect the component's view files in /components/com_jeauto/views/ for an 'item' view directory containing view.html.php and tmpl filesAffected if The item view directory and its files are present and accessible
-
Test if view item page accepts parametersAccess the component front-end via index.php?option=com_jeauto&view=item with various id parameter values to observe if the application processes SQL-bound inputsAffected if The view item page is accessible and processes user-supplied parameters without sanitization
If the JE Auto component is installed and the version is 1.0 or lower with the view item page functionality present and accessible, the environment is likely affected by this SQL injection vulnerability.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade to JE Auto version 1.1 or later which contains the security patch; alternatively, implement parameterized queries or robust input validation/sanitization on all user-supplied parameters in the component's view item page.
