Authenticated attackers can exploit this flaw by sending malicious POST requests to the \u003ccode\u003eextroformfield\u003c/code\u003e view. The vulnerability lies in the insufficient sanitization of the \u003ccode\u003efilter_type_id\u003c/code\u003e, \u003ccode\u003efilter_pid_id\u003c/code\u003e, and \u003ccode\u003efilter_search\u003c/code\u003e parameters. Successful exploitation allows attackers to inject arbitrary SQL commands, potentially enabling them to extract sensitive database information and server details. This can lead to a significant compromise of the Joomla application and its underlying data.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn attacker authenticates to the Joomla application.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker crafts a malicious POST request targeting the \u003ccode\u003eextroformfield\u003c/code\u003e view.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe POST request includes SQL injection payloads within the \u003ccode\u003efilter_type_id\u003c/code\u003e, \u003ccode\u003efilter_pid_id\u003c/code\u003e, or \u003ccode\u003efilter_search\u003c/code\u003e parameters.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe eXtroForms component processes the request without proper sanitization of the input.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe injected SQL code is executed against the Joomla database.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker retrieves sensitive information such as user credentials, configuration data, or other stored data.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker may further leverage the SQL injection to modify data within the database.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe attacker gains unauthorized access to the Joomla application and/or the underlying server.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of CVE-2018-25380 can lead to the exposure of sensitive data stored within the Joomla application\u0026rsquo;s database.
