Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability.

Description

The version of the AlphaRegistration Component for Joomla! running on the remote host is affected by a SQL injection vulnerability in assets/scripts/checkemail.php due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'email' parameter before using it to construct database queries. Provided the PHP 'magic_quotes_gpc' setting is disabled, an unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this issue to manipulate database queries, resulting in disclosure of sensitive information, modification of data, or other attacks against the underlying database.

Upgrade to AlphaRegistration version 2.0.14 or later.
