Joomla Extension - OrdaSoft.com - Authenticated, Privileged Remote Code Execution in OrdaSoft Joomla Gallery extension for Joomla < 6.2.7 - The extensions saveWatermark() copied an uploaded file into a web-accessible directory using the client-supplied filename exactly as sent, with no extension check, no content check, and no filename sanitisation of any kind. An authenticated core.manage user could upload a .php file disguised with an image Content-Type header and execute it directly by requesting the resulting path.
Joomla Extension - joomgalleryfriends.net - Unauthenticated arbitrary file upload via the TUS endpoint in JoomGallery < 4.4.2 - The TUS endpoint allows arbitrary file uploads, however neither file name nor file extension are under attacker control. Code execution requires non-standard server configuration.
Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Missing Directory Confinement in Media Upload in SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) 4.0.0 - 6.9.0 - The folder request parameter replaced the generated date-based destination folder in its entirety and was then passed to Folder::create() and File::upload() without either of the directory boundary checks applied elsewhere in the same file. Files could be written into any directory beneath the web root, including administrator/, templates/, cli/ and the site root. Joomla's PATH input filter prevented traversal above the web root, and existing files were not overwritten.
Joomla Extension - digital-peak.com - Authenticated, privileged stored XSS in DP Calendar 7.0.0-8.19.5, 9.0.0-10.12.0 - Location title is rendered in data attribute without escaping leads to XSS, needs create permission in DPCalendar.
Joomla Extension - j2commerce.com - Unauthenticated PayPal callback forgery leading to order confirmation fraud in J2Store 1.0.0-3.3.21, 4.0.0-4.0.21, 4.1.0-4.1.6 - The PayPal IPN listener's signature check (validateIPN()) accepted UNVERIFIED and any non-INVALID response as valid, made its verification request with CURLOPTSSLVERIFYPEER disabled, and stored its verdict in a field nothing downstream ever checked — so processing continued regardless of the outcome. Separately, the paid-amount comparison only ran when mcgross was a positive number; omitting the field from the POST body (floatval(null) == 0) skipped the check entirely. Combined with a merchant-configured receiveremail and a sequential, enumerable order id read from the custom field, an anonymous POST was enough to move a pending order straight to CONFIRMED with no payment, or force another customer's pending order to FAILED. paypalv2.php performed no amount check under any circumstances.
Joomla! Core - [20260803] - Inconsistent ACL checks for mutating webservice endpoints in Joomla 4.0.0-5.4.7, 6.0.0-6.1.2 - An improper access check allows unauthorized users to perform mutation actions in webservice endpoints, where the same mutation was restricted in the backend UI.
Joomla! Core - [20260806] - Improper ACL checks for category webservice endpoints in Joomla 4.0.0-5.4.7, 6.0.0-6.1.2 - An improper access check allows unauthorized users to create categories via webservices endpoints.
Joomla! Core - [20260810] - Unrestricted uploads of SHTML files in Joomla 1.0.0-5.4.7, 6.0.0-6.1.2 - The default list of dangerous files did not include SHTML files. On servers that executed these files, that could lead to code execution.
Joomla! Core - [20260801] - Response header injection in download views in Joomla 3.0.0-5.4.7, 6.0.0-6.1.2 - Lack of output processing allowed a header injection in the multiple download views, leading to reflected file download / content-type confusion.
Joomla! Core - [20260802] - Improper CORS origin validation in Joomla 4.0.0-5.4.7, 6.0.0-6.1.2 - An improper implementation prevented configured CORS origins from being properly validated in CORS requests.
Joomla! Core - [20260804] - Improper ACL checks for custom fields webservice endpoints in Joomla 4.0.0-5.4.7, 6.0.0-6.1.2 - An improper access check allows unauthorized users to create fields for inaccessible components.
Joomla! Core - [20260806] - XSS through schema.org outputs in Joomla 5.1.0-5.4.7, 6.0.0-6.1.2 - Improper escaping flags lead to an XSS vector in schema.org markup outputs.
Joomla! Core - [20260809] - Improper ACL checks when injection schema.org contact data in Joomla 5.1.0-5.4.7 and 6.0.0-6.1.2 - An improper access check injects contact information for unaccessible contact items into schema.org snippets.
Joomla! Core - [20260808] - Improper ACL checks for batch copy actions in Joomla 4.0.0-5.4.7, 6.0.0-6.1.2 - An improper access check allows unauthorized users to perform copy batch operations on uneditable items.
Joomla! Core - [20260807] - MFA Authentication Bypass in Joomla 4.0.0-5.4.7 and 6.0.0-6.1.2 - Insufficient state checks lead to a vector that allows to bypass 2FA checks.
Joomla Extension - mrvinoth.com - Reflected XSS in All Video Share 1.0.0-4.5.0 - Various user supplied inputs lacked escaping, leading to reflected XSS vectors
Joomla Extension - joomlaeventmanager.net - Unauthenticated article overwrite and force-publish in Joomla Event Manager < 5.0.1 - Any visitor holding their own session token can republish and overwrite an article associated with an event.
Joomla Extension - joomlaeventmanager.net - Cross-user event and venue takeover through forged form fields in Joomla Event Manager < 5.0.1 - A registered user with edit-own rights (the eventowner=1 setting or core.edit.own) can POST another user's record id together with their own id as createdby and take over that record.
Joomla Extension - fabrikar.com - Unauthenticated remote code execution in Fabrik < 4.6.8 - An unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code by using the frontend listfilter model.
Joomla Extension - cmsjunkie.com - DOS vector in pagination parameter handling in J-BusinessDirectory < 6.2.3 - Pagination values were not strictly typed. Array/non-numeric values (for example limitstart[]) could trigger PHP type errors in arithmetic, and limit was not validated before use in list queries.
Joomla Extension - cmsjunkie.com - Arbitrary file upload / deletion (path traversal) in J-BusinessDirectory < 6.2.3 - Upload/remove accepted a client-controlled root (pathtype could point at the component site/admin trees), did not enforce path containment, and used a weak extension check. CSRF token was also missing on upload/remove.
Joomla Extension - joomgalleryfriends.net - Password-Protected Category Bypass via JSON Format in JoomGallery < 4.4.0- An unauthenticated access control bypass exists in JoomGallery's category JSON view. When a gallery category is protected with a password, the HTML view correctly enforces the password gate - but the JSON view ( format=json ) skips this check entirely.
Joomla Extension - fabrikar.com - Unauthenticated SQL injection in list filter condition parameter in Fabrik < 4.7.2 - The condition parameter passed to a list filter is concatenated verbatim into the WHERE clause built by getFilterQuery().
