• → SQL injection is triggered via the 'pinboard' GET parameter in the com_realpin Joomla! component (option=com_realpin). Monitor HTTP requests containing SQL metacharacters or encoded payloads in this parameter. ↗
• → The exploit payload is Base64-encoded SQL injection delivered in the pinboard parameter. The decoded payload performs a UNION/AND-based blind SQL injection querying INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS, extracting database(), version(), and a random value. ↗
• → Target Joomla! installations running the Realpin component version <= 1.5.04. Look for HTTP GET requests to index.php with option=com_realpin and a non-empty or suspicious pinboard parameter value. ↗

• · The exploit PoC uses localhost as the target host; in real-world attacks the path prefix [PATH] and host will vary. The SQL payload is URL-encoded and additionally Base64-encoded, so detection rules must account for encoded variants of the pinboard parameter. ↗
