MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions are required - the vulnerable onGetEmail endpoint is accessible to unauthenticated network requesters on any default installation of Fabrik versions 1.0.0-4.7.1 running on a Joomla CMS site. The CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:N, AC:L, AT:N) confirms no authentication, no elevated complexity, and no specific attack requirements. The only limiting factors are: the target must be running an active Joomla instance with the Fabrik extension installed and enabled, and the attacker must know or enumerate valid commenter record IDs to retrieve associated email addresses. There is no required user interaction, no non-default configuration, and no platform restriction. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L warrants scrutiny: the provided vector assigns no confidentiality impact (VC:N) despite the flaw being an email disclosure issue, and credits a low integrity impact (VI:L) which is not clearly supported by the description of read-only data leakage. The more accurate characterization is a low confidentiality impact rather than an integrity impact - this inconsistency should be verified with the vendor or NVD. EPSS data was not included in the provided intelligence, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified probabilistically. No KEV listing and no known POC suppress the urgency signals from those frameworks. However, the zero-barrier entry - unauthenticated, network-accessible, no special tooling required - means the flaw is mechanically trivial to exploit by any party who can send HTTP requests to the target. The meaningful real-world risk vector here is GDPR and equivalent privacy regulation exposure: unintended disclosure of commenter email addresses constitutes a personal data breach under most data protection frameworks, carrying notification obligations and potential fines regardless of CVSS score. Sites collecting commenter data should treat this as a compliance priority even in the absence of active exploitation signals. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends crafted HTTP requests to a Joomla site's Fabrik onGetEmail endpoint, iterating over commenter ID values to systematically retrieve associated email addresses. Because no credential or session token is required, this can be scripted in minutes using basic tools such as curl or a simple Python loop. No public proof-of-concept code has been identified at time of analysis, but the simplicity of the missing access check means independent rediscovery requires no specialized knowledge. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 22, 2026
Unauthenticated email disclosure in Fabrik (Joomla extension, versions 1.0.0-4.7.1) exposes any commenter's email address to remote, unauthenticated requesters via the onGetEmail endpoint, which performed no access control checks. The flaw stems from a complete absence of authorization logic on a data-retrieval endpoint, allowing trivial mass enumeration of personal contact data. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though zero-barrier network access makes opportunistic harvesting straightforward.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Fabrik to version 4.7.2 or later, which is confirmed as the patched release per the CVE description and EUVD record. The vendor's site is https://www.fabrikar.com/. If an immediate upgrade is not feasible, implement a compensating control at the web server or WAF layer by blocking or requiring authentication on requests targeting the onGetEmail task parameter within the Fabrik component endpoint (e.g., block URL patterns matching com_fabrik combined with the onGetEmail task in query parameters). Note that this workaround may break legitimate email-retrieval functionality for authenticated users and should be tested before deployment. Additionally, site operators should assess whether a data breach notification obligation has been triggered under applicable privacy law.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Fabrik is a data management and form-building extension for Joomla CMS, identified in the CPE string cpe:2.3:a:fabrikar.com:fabrik_extension_for_joomla. The root cause is CWE-284 (Improper Access Control): the onGetEmail endpoint, which is intended to retrieve a commenter's email address, was exposed without any authorization gate - no session check, no role verification, and no rate limiting. In a correctly implemented system, such an endpoint should require at minimum that the requester be authenticated and hold appropriate privileges (e.g., comment author or administrator) before returning personal data. The Joomla component framework provides access control primitives that were not applied here, allowing the endpoint to function as an effectively public email-lookup API.
