"The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a
SQL injection vulnerability.");

"According to its self-reported version number, the Joomla!
installation running on the remote web server is 3.7.x prior to 3.7.1.
It is, therefore, affected by a SQL injection vulnerability in the
fields.php script due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to inject or
manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database, resulting in the
disclosure or modification of arbitrary data.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied
only on the application's self-reported version number.");
