Hackers targeting Joomla Websites using SQL Injection Vulnerability in Joomla CMS modules that was disclosed last week. Lot of attacks are being carried out against sites running old, unpatched versions of Joomla CMS. Experts warned Joomla webmasters that it’s quite easy for a hacker to gain full control of a website and execute additional attacks through the vulnerability.

Daniel Cid, the organizer and CTO of the sucuri composed yesterday in a blogpost that just four hours after exposures from both Joomla and Trustwave, the firm that found the vulnerability, Hackers started narrowing their sights on two “well known Joomla destinations.” Cid didn’t name the locales yet guarantees that Hackers endeavoured to separate the present sessions from signed in administrator clients, yet were obstructed by resistance instruments.

Cid says Hackers squandered no time sending two sweeps. One was generally safe and searched for a SQL sentence structure mistake page that appears taking after blunders on Joomla frameworks running the old versions of CMS.

The second one was a little scarier and included a sweep that asked for the “administrator client” session from a table on the CMS.

At the point when the Hackers found a site running a more seasoned, defenceless form, then they utilized the endeavour and ran a payload to extricate the client’s session.

It ought to come as meagre astonishment; however there was truly an up tick in adventure endeavours throughout the weekend. According to most recent security report, Hackers attempted somewhere in the range of 12,000 endeavours on Monday.

The vulnerability already existed in renditions 3.2 to 3.4.4 of the CMS until designers at Joomla pushed a patch a week ago, yet it seems numerous destinations fail to apply the overhaul.

“What is exceptionally terrifying to believe is that neither of these destinations was fixed at the time. The exposure happened on a Thursday evening (night in Europe), when numerous website admins were at that point off for the day,” Cid composed.

In case if you are using Joomla Content Management System, then please upgrade your site, else it would wind up getting hacked by some programmer and misfortune can be serious.
