Synopsis

A PHP application running on the remote web server is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of Joomla! running on the remote web server is 4.0.x prior to 4.4.12 or 5.0.x prior to 5.2.5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability.

- Inadequate checks in the Media Manager allowed users with edit privileges to change file extension to arbitrary extension, including .php and other potentially executable extensions. (CVE-2025-22213)
