An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2020-37218 exists.\n\nAffected product: com_hdwplayer. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-37218/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-37218/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-37218","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-37218/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-37218","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7969-fm8r-vgcj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Joomla com_hdwplayer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary SQL queries via the hdwplayersearch parameter to extract sensitive database information.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"Joomla com_hdwplayer 4.2 contains an SQL injection vulnerability in the search.php file that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the hdwplayersearch parameter.
