DescriptionCVE.org

The Joomla extension Page Builder CK is vulnerable to an authenticated arbitrary file upload, leading to RCE.

AnalysisAI

Authenticated arbitrary file upload in the Page Builder CK extension for Joomla (vendor joomlack.fr) allows a low-privileged authenticated user to upload a malicious file and achieve remote code execution on the host. The flaw (CWE-434) carries a CVSS 4.0 base score of 9.4 driven by high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact plus subsequent-system impact. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

Technical ContextAI

Page Builder CK is a drag-and-drop content/page building extension for the Joomla CMS, developed by joomlack.fr (CPE cpe:2.3:a:joomlack.fr:page_builder_ck_extension_for_joomla). The vulnerability is CWE-434, Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type: an upload handler within the extension fails to properly validate the type, extension, or content of uploaded files, permitting an attacker to place an executable server-side script (e.g. a PHP webshell) inside the Joomla web root. Because Joomla executes PHP, an uploaded script can be requested directly by URL and run in the context of the web server process, converting a file-write primitive into full code execution.

RemediationAI

No specific fixed version was provided in the source data, so the primary action is to consult the vendor at https://www.joomlack.fr/ (and the Joomla extensions directory / Vulnerable Extensions List) for the patched Page Builder CK release and upgrade once identified - patch availability could not be confirmed from the input, so treat this as no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis pending vendor confirmation. As compensating controls until a patched build is applied: restrict which Joomla user groups can access Page Builder CK's editing and upload features so untrusted or self-registered accounts cannot reach the upload endpoint (trade-off: reduces content-editing convenience for legitimate authors); disable public self-service account registration in Joomla Global Configuration to preserve the PR:L barrier (trade-off: blocks legitimate new users); and configure the web server to deny PHP execution within Joomla upload/media directories via an .htaccess or server block that disables the PHP handler for those paths (trade-off: breaks any legitimate feature that executes files from those directories). A WAF rule blocking uploads of executable extensions to the extension's endpoints adds defense but may be bypassable and can cause false positives.
