DescriptionCVE.org

Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Missing Directory Confinement in Media Rename Allowing Arbitrary File Rename in SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) 4.0.0 - 6.9.0 - The media rename task applied neither of the directory boundary checks used by the folder operations in the same controller, and its validation guard required only that either a media record exist for the supplied identifier or that the supplied path be present in #__spmedia, rather than both. The identifier and the path were consequently never checked against one another, so any valid media identifier could be paired with an unrelated filesystem path, and the STR input filter left traversal sequences intact. An attacker could rename files elsewhere in the installation, including renaming configuration.php to take the site offline.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file rename across the Joomla filesystem is possible in SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) versions 4.0.0 through 6.9.0 due to missing directory confinement in the media rename controller task. Authenticated administrators or users with media management permissions can pair any valid media identifier with an unrelated filesystem path, bypassing the boundary checks that protect other folder operations in the same controller. …
