What does it mean, do I have to do anything, if so what?

An input parameter called zorder isn’t properly scrutinised and is therefore subject to a SQL injection. SQL injections can be crafted to extract data and potentially run commands on your server. So even if you’re not storing sensitive information you will be putting your server at risk.  If you are running Mambo, you need to scrap it and use a CMS that is being actively developed and supported.

What happens if I leave it?

Your server will be hacked.
