Description
Joomla Extension - balbooa.com - Unauthorized Deletion of Attachments in Balbooa Forms < 2.4.3.4 - The public removeTmpAttachment action accepts an integer attachment ID and deletes the matching database row and file. The controller verifies a Joomla session token, but the model does not bind that ID to the session that uploaded the file, the current user, the form, the upload field, or the temporary state. Any guest can obtain a token for their own session, so the token prevents CSRF but does not authorize the target object.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Balbooa Forms extension for Joomla allows any web user to delete attachments by calling the removeTmpAttachment action with a token and an attachment id. The action validates a Joomla session token to prevent CSRF, but it does not verify that the attachment belongs to the user’s session, form, or upload field. Consequently, a guest user can obtain a token for their own session and delete any attachment belonging to other users, leading to unauthorized data loss.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in Balbooa Forms extension for Joomla versions earlier than 2.4.3.4. Any site running the extension below that version is impacted, regardless of other Joomla configuration settings.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is not available, so the exploitation probability is unclear; the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack requires only a valid session token, which a guest can trivially obtain, and the attacker must craft a request with the target attachment ID. No authentication or user privileges are needed, making the exploitation straightforward for a malicious actor.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update Balbooa Forms to version 2.4.3.4 or later.
  • Restrict access to the removeTmpAttachment endpoint to authenticated users only by configuring Joomla’s ACL or using a plugin to block guest access.
  • If an update cannot be applied immediately, temporarily disable or block the removeTmpAttachment action using server rules (e.g., .htaccess) until a patch is available.
