The vulnerability spans the full release history of the extension through 5.0.40 and is particularly dangerous in multi-author or open-registration Joomla deployments where untrusted users hold contributor roles. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid contributor-level (or higher) authenticated account on the target Joomla installation - an attacker cannot exploit this unauthenticated. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.6 reflects the severe database impact (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), yet the practical exploitation probability is currently low: EPSS registers only 0.26% (18th percentile) and CISA SSVC confirms exploitation status as none with automatable classified as no, indicating targeted rather than mass-scale exploitation is expected. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker registers or acquires a contributor-level account on a Joomla site running YOOtheme Pro 1.0.0-5.0.40, then submits a crafted content request through the extension's contributor interface embedding SQL metacharacters that alter the underlying query. This allows the attacker to enumerate database tables, extract user credentials or sensitive content, or modify database records. …
Remediation Upgrade YOOtheme Pro to a version released after 5.0.40; the exact patched release version is not confirmed in currently available intelligence sources, so administrators should consult the vendor directly at https://www.yootheme.com/ for the specific fix version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, conduct an inventory of all Joomla installations using YOOtheme Pro, confirm versions in use, and document the number of contributor-level users with access. …
