Joomla Extension - joomgalleryfriends.net - Password-Protected Category Bypass via JSON Format in JoomGallery < 4.3.1 - An unauthenticated access control bypass exists in JoomGallery's category JSON view. When a gallery category is protected with a password, the HTML view correctly enforces the password gate - but the JSON view ( format=json ) skips this check entirely.

Password-protected gallery categories in JoomGallery versions prior to 4.3.1 are fully accessible to unauthenticated remote attackers by switching the request format to JSON via the format=json URL parameter. The HTML view correctly enforces the password gate, but the JSON view controller lacks any equivalent access control check, exposing protected image metadata and content without requiring credentials. …
