DescriptionCVE.org

Joomla Extension - cmsjunkie.com - Open mail relay in J-BusinessDirectory < 6.2.3 - Recipient address was taken from the request (contact_id_offer / contact_id_event) instead of the server-side offer/event record, so mail could be sent to an arbitrary address.

AnalysisAI

Open mail relay in the J-BusinessDirectory Joomla extension (versions 1.0.0-6.2.2) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to redirect business contact emails to arbitrary recipients by supplying an attacker-controlled email address in the contact_id_offer or contact_id_event request parameters. The extension incorrectly trusts client-supplied input for recipient resolution rather than performing a server-side lookup against the referenced offer or event record. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Identify Joomla site running J-BusinessDirectory
Delivery
Locate accessible offer/event contact form
Exploit
Craft POST request with attacker email in contact_id_offer or contact_id_event
Execution
Submit request to contact endpoint unauthenticated
Persist
Site SMTP infrastructure relays email to attacker address
Impact
Attacker receives intercepted business inquiry or uses relay for spam/phishing

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires that the target site has J-BusinessDirectory version 6.2.2 or earlier installed and active on a Joomla CMS instance, with at least one published offer or event listing whose contact form is publicly accessible. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) correctly reflects unauthenticated network exploitation with no complexity barrier, and the C:H rating is defensible given that intercepted contact emails may carry PII and sensitive business inquiry data that is fully disclosed to the attacker. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An unauthenticated attacker identifies a Joomla site running J-BusinessDirectory with a published offer or event listing, then submits a contact form POST request with the contact_id_offer or contact_id_event parameter set to an attacker-controlled email address. The site's mail server dispatches the inquiry - including the submitter's name, email, and message - to the attacker's inbox instead of the intended business owner, fully disclosing the contact data. …
Remediation Upgrade J-BusinessDirectory to version 6.2.3 or later, which addresses the recipient resolution flaw by performing a server-side database lookup for the offer or event record rather than accepting the email destination from the client request. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Joomla instances running J-BusinessDirectory versions 1.0.0-6.2.2 and assess criticality; disable the extension immediately on non-critical systems and restrict the contact form to authenticated users only on essential instances. …
