urlhttp://localhost/[PATH]/index.php?option=com_projectlog&view=cat&search=[SQL]↗

→Monitor HTTP requests targeting the Joomla component parameter `option=com_projectlog` combined with a `search` parameter containing SQL injection payloads (e.g., quotes, UNION/SELECT keywords, or encoded equivalents). ↗
→SQL Injection is delivered via the `search` GET parameter in the Project Log 1.5.3 Joomla component; inspect and alert on unsanitised input to this parameter. ↗

·The exploit PoC URL uses `localhost` as a placeholder; the actual attack path depends on the Joomla installation root (`[PATH]`), so detection rules should match on the query-string parameters rather than the host/path. ↗
