Synopsis

Joomla! 4.x < 4.4.13 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of Joomla! running on the remote web server is 4.x prior to 4.4.13 or 5.x prior to 5.2.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

 - Improper handling of identifiers lead to a SQL injection vulnerability in the quoteNameStr method of the database package. (CVE-2025-25226)

 - Insufficient state checks lead to a vector that allows to bypass 2FA checks. (CVE-2025-25227)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to Joomla! version 4.4.13 or latest.
