CVE-2026-67361: Joomla Extension - j2commerce.com - Unauthenticated file upload with missing directory protection in J2Store 1.0.0-3.3.20, 4.0.0-4.0.20, 4.1.0-4.1.5

Joomla Extension - j2commerce.com - Unauthenticated file upload with missing directory protection in J2Store 1.0.0-3.3.20, 4.0.0-4.0.20, 4.1.0-4.1.5 - The file upload endpoint accepted POST requests from unauthenticated visitors with no CSRF token. Compounding this, the installer manifest omitted the upload and invoices directories, causing fresh installs to deploy those directories without .htaccess/web.config protection, making uploaded files directly web-accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Which deployments are most exposed?

Fresh installations in the affected J2Store version ranges are specifically exposed because the installer manifest did not place .htaccess or web.config protections in the upload and invoices directories. Uploaded files could therefore be directly accessible over the web.

2

What does an attacker need to exploit this issue?

An attacker can send a POST request to the upload endpoint without authentication or a CSRF token. No logged-in Joomla or J2Store account is described as necessary.

3

How can I determine whether an installation may be affected?

Check whether the installed J2Store version falls within 1.0.0 through 3.3.20, 4.0.0 through 4.0.20, or 4.1.0 through 4.1.5. Also inspect the upload and invoices directories for missing .htaccess or web.config protection, particularly on fresh installs.
