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 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.

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().

Joomla! Component PHP-Bridge 1.2.3 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the id parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to index.php with option=comphpbridge&view=phpview parameters and inject SQL code in the id parameter to extract database information including table and column names.
Joomla Event Registration Pro Calendar 4.1.3 contains an SQL injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries by injecting malicious code through the id parameter. Attackers can send GET requests to index.php with option=comregistrationpro&view=category&id parameter containing SQL injection payloads to extract sensitive database information.
