AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability resides in the Filesystem source within YOOtheme Pro, where the path filter is susceptible to glob‑based pattern attacks. Authorized users can use this flaw to read files arbitrarily, potentially exposing sensitive configuration data, credentials, or other confidential information. This results in a confidentiality breach under the documented CWE‑22 classification.

Affected Systems

The flaw affects users of the YOOtheme Pro extension for Joomla published by yootheme.com. All versions of the extension in the 2.3.0 through 5.0.40 range are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.0 indicates a high severity exploit. The EPSS score is not available, but the vulnerability requires an authenticated user with privilege to read files, which limits immediate public exploitation risk. The KEV status is not listed, suggesting no known active exploitation campaigns. Nonetheless, the existence of an arbitrary file read flaw warrants prompt remediation to protect sensitive assets.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the YOOtheme Pro extension to a version newer than 5.0.40 or apply the latest vendor patch that addresses the glob‑based path filter vulnerability.
  • Restrict Joomla user roles to the minimum necessary privileges, ensuring that only administrators or users with explicit file‑read needs have access to the affected filesystem component.
  • Reconfigure or harden the Joomla file inclusion mechanisms to validate paths more strictly, or replace the vulnerable Filesystem source with a secure implementation that prevents glob pattern abuse.
