Published Aug 25, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.1 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

A missing access check in YOOtheme Pro allows users with com_template editing rights to view data from any Joomla module, thereby exposing privileged configuration or sensitive content. This flaw represents a classic access control weakness (CWE‑284). The attacker can obtain information that may aid in further attacks such as social engineering or targeted exploitation of module features.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the YOOtheme Pro extension for Joomla, versions 1.0.0 through 5.0.41. Users running any of these revision ranges are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.1 denotes moderate severity. Because the issue requires authenticated access and the EPSS is not available, the likelihood of exploitation is uncertain but potentially low. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, indicating no publicly known active exploitation. An attacker would need to be granted com_template editing permissions; no remote code execution or privilege escalation is described.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update YOOtheme Pro to version 5.0.42 or later, if available, to apply the vendor fix.
  • Revoke or limit com_template edit permissions for users who do not need access to module configuration.
  • Review and tighten Joomla’s Access Control Lists to ensure users only receive the permissions required for their roles.
  • Monitor module access logs for unauthorized queries and alert on abnormal activity.
