AI Analysis

Impact

The TUS endpoint of the joomgalleryfriends.net JoomGallery extension for Joomla accepts arbitrary file uploads from unauthenticated users. Although the attacker cannot control the file name or its extension, any file type can be uploaded. Execution of uploaded code requires that the server is configured in a non‑standard way that allows running uploaded content, which is not typical for default Joomla deployments. The vulnerability is an improper access control weakness, corresponding to CWE‑284.

Affected Systems

All installations of the joomgalleryfriends.net JoomGallery extension for Joomla that use a version earlier than 4.4.2 are vulnerable. No further version granularity is provided; any release below 4.4.2 is considered affected until an update is applied.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS v3 score of 6.3 indicates medium severity. The EPSS score is < 1%, suggesting a very low but nonzero likelihood of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can reach the vulnerable endpoint remotely; files placed in the upload directory, a condition that is uncommon in default Joomla configurations but can exist in custom deployments. Consequently, the overall risk is contingent on the server’s configuration and may rise to high if execution is permitted.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the JoomGallery extension to version 4.4.2 or later to eliminate the unauthenticated upload capability.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, block or restrict access to the TUS upload endpoint by configuring Joomla or the web server to deny all requests to that path, or by using .htaccess rules to exclude it.
  • Ensure the upload directory does not allow execution of files—remove execute permissions, move uploads outside the document root, or otherwise prevent arbitrary code execution.
