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 · unedited
Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Authenticated SQL injection in SP Page Builder < 6.7.1 - Improper validation of various parameters in the media manager search and date filters lead to an SQL injection vector.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in SP Page Builder (< 6.7.1) Joomla extension. Improper validation of parameters in the media manager's search and date filters allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious SQL queries, potentially leading to unauthorized data access or manipulation.

MitigationUpgrade SP Page Builder to version 6.7.1 or later to obtain the patched code with proper parameter validation. Since this is an authenticated vector, also review and limit user accounts with access to the media manager functionality.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm SP Page Builder extension is installed
    Navigate to Joomla administrator panel, go to Components > SP Page Builder, or check the #__extensions database table for com_sppagebuilder
    Affected if SP Page Builder extension is not found in the Joomla installation
  2. Identify installed SP Page Builder version
    In Joomla admin, go to Components > SP Page Builder > Dashboard, or inspect the manifest file at /administrator/components/com_sppagebuilder/sppagebuilder.xml for the <version> tag
    Affected if The version is lower than 6.7.1 (for example, 6.7.0, 6.6.x, etc.)
  3. Verify media manager component is accessible
    Log into Joomla admin panel and navigate to Components > SP Page Builder > Media Manager. Confirm the media manager interface loads and is functional.
    Affected if The media manager is accessible and functional for the authenticated user account
  4. Inspect media manager request parameters
    Use browser developer tools or a proxy to capture a request when using the search box or date filter in the media manager. Examine the request parameters sent to the backend.
    Affected if The search or date filter parameters are present in the request without proper SQL parameterization indicators (prepared statements)
  5. Check for signs of SQL injection exploitation
    Review web server access logs and Joomla database for suspicious SQL patterns in requests to /index.php?option=com_sppagebuilder&task=media. Search for common SQL injection payloads like UNION SELECT, SLEEP(), or benchmark().
    Affected if Evidence of malicious SQL queries in logs or unexpected data/modifications in the database

The environment is affected if SP Page Builder is installed with a version lower than 6.7.1 and the media manager component is accessible to authenticated users.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade SP Page Builder to version 6.7.1 or later to obtain the patched code with proper parameter validation. Since this is an authenticated vector, also review and limit user accounts with access to the media manager functionality.
