→Monitor HTTP requests targeting the Joomla com_swapfactory component with the task=showSearchResults parameter; SQL injection is injected via the filter_order_Dir or filter_order query parameters. ↗
→Alert on requests to index.php containing option=com_swapfactory combined with filter_order_Dir or filter_order parameters carrying URL-encoded SQL payloads (e.g. EXTRACTVALUE, CONCAT, ELT, USER(), DATABASE(), VERSION() patterns). ↗

·The SQL injection payload in the PoC is URL-encoded; defenders should ensure WAF/IDS rules decode URL encoding before matching to avoid evasion. ↗
