Description

This module exploits a SQL injection vulnerability found in Joomla versions
3.2 up to 3.4.4. The vulnerability exists in the Content History administrator
component in the core of Joomla. Triggering the SQL injection makes it possible
to retrieve active Super User sessions. The cookie can be used to login to the
Joomla administrator backend. By creating a new template file containing our
payload, remote code execution is made possible.
