• → Monitor HTTP requests targeting the Joomla component com_fastball with view=player and a season parameter containing SQL metacharacters (e.g. quotes, UNION, SELECT, AND keywords). ↗
• → The decoded PoC payload performs a UNION-based SQL injection extracting database(), version(), and data from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PLUGINS — look for these keywords in WAF/IDS logs on requests to com_fastball. ↗

• · The vulnerable component is specifically Fastball version 2.5 for Joomla!; other versions are not confirmed affected. ↗
