CVE-2008-2498
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in index.php in Mambo before 4.6.4, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) articleid and (2) mcname parameters.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.10%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
