# Impact :
***********
Joomla FSF FreeStyle FAQs 1.11.18 component for Joomla and other versions
is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize
user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.
Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application,
access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request to the vulnerable application
and execute arbitrary SQL commands in application`s database.
Further exploitation of this vulnerability may result in unauthorized data manipulation.
An attacker can exploit this issue using a browser.
* A DAT file is a generic data file created by a specific application.
It may contain data in binary or text format (text-based DAT files can be viewed in a text editor).
DAT files are typically accessed only by the application only by owners.
* This Software prone to an information exposure/database disclosure vulnerability.
Successful exploits of this issue may allow an attacker to obtain sensitive
information by downloading the full contents of the application's database.
* Any remote user may download the database files and gain access
to sensitive information including unencrypted authentication credentials.
