Status: AnalyzedHigh (8.8)—

Joomla LMS King Professional 3.2.4.0 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to manipulate database queries by injecting SQL code through the cp_id parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to index.php with the option=com_lmsking, view=lmsking, layout=learningpath, and task=learningPath parameters to extract sensitive database information.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

🎯 ATT&CK techniques
