MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires the JoomShaper EasyStore extension (versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0) installed on a Joomla site with guest checkout in use, so that records exist in the #__easystore_guests table. The attacker must supply candidate email addresses to the checkout.searchGuestUser endpoint; no authentication, session, ownership check, or user interaction is needed. The practical limiting factor is that data is only returned for emails that correspond to real guest customers - so yield scales with the quality and coverage of the attacker's email list - and only sites where guest checkout has been used will hold exploitable PII. |
| Impact | This is a genuine, easily-actioned confidentiality risk rather than a theoretical high-CVSS finding. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H) confirms a network-reachable, unauthenticated endpoint with no user interaction that fully exposes customer PII - the hardest gating factor the vendor applied is AC:H, which I question: querying checkout.searchGuestUser needs only an email address, and iterating an email list is a standard, low-effort technique, so AC:L is more defensible and the real-world score is closer to 7.5 (3.1). No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC is present in the provided data, so this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' - but the flaw is trivially reproducible (single unauthenticated request per email) and the fix (removing the endpoint entirely) confirms the vendor treated it as a real design defect, not a false positive. There is no SSVC data provided. Net: prioritize for any deployment running EasyStore guest checkout, because exploitation is simple and the impact (bulk PII harvesting with GDPR/privacy consequences) is concrete, even though there is no evidence of active exploitation yet. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker obtains or generates a list of candidate email addresses (from breach dumps, marketing lists, or common-address patterns) and sends each one to the checkout.searchGuestUser endpoint of a Joomla site running the EasyStore extension. For every email that matches a guest checkout record, the server returns the full name, phone number, street address, city, postal code, and country with no authentication or ownership check, letting the attacker enumerate and harvest customer PII at scale. No POC is referenced in the provided data, but the attack requires only ordinary HTTP requests. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 23, 2026
Unauthenticated PII harvesting in the JoomShaper Easy Store extension for Joomla (versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0) allows anyone to retrieve guest checkout records by submitting an email address to the checkout.searchGuestUser endpoint, which returns full name, phone number, street address, city, postal code and country directly from the #__easystore_guests table with no authentication, session validation or ownership check. Attackers can script the endpoint against purchased or scraped email lists to enumerate guest customers and compile sensitive personal data at scale, with no user interaction required. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and the issue is not confirmed as actively exploited (no CISA KEV listing), but the attack is trivially reachable; yield depends on email-list quality and on whether a given site has actually used guest checkout, since only matching guest emails return data.
RemediationAI
The primary fix is to update the JoomShaper Easy Store extension to a release later than 3.0.0, which the vendor resolved by removing the unauthenticated server-side guest lookup endpoint completely and migrating the autofill behaviour to client-side localStorage gated by explicit user consent; note that the input data does not state the exact patched version number, only that the 1.0.0-3.0.0 range is affected, so confirm the fixed build on the vendor advisory at https://www.joomshaper.com/easystore before closing the ticket. If updating is not immediately possible, the most effective compensating control is to block or filter requests to the checkout.searchGuestUser task at the web server or WAF (for example, deny requests whose com_easystore routing resolves to that task), with the trade-off that any legitimate guest-cart autofill managed by that endpoint will stop working until the patch is applied; additionally consider temporarily disabling guest checkout so no new records accumulate in #__easystore_guests, at the cost of potential checkout friction and lost orders. Because the endpoint leaks historical records too, also purge or archive stale guest rows from #__easystore_guests, weighing that against order-fulfilment and tax/accounting retention obligations, and treat the exposed guest PII as compromised for notification purposes where regulations require it.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Easy Store is a third-party e-commerce component for Joomla published by JoomShaper, installed as an extension and typically exposed at index.php?option=com_easystore-style routes; the flaw sits in the checkout.searchGuestUser controller task, an IDOR / missing-function-level-authorization pattern classified as CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor). The endpoint acts as an unauthenticated server-side lookup against the #__easystore_guests table (the component's guest checkout record store), keying only on a caller-supplied email address and returning the full shipping profile, so the object identifier is simply a guessable/enumerable email and no session, token or ownership check constrains the response. The authoritative CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N, 8.2) and our assessed CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) agree on the essentials: network-reachable, unauthenticated (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect; the only divergence is complexity, where we treat the exploit as low-complexity and highly automatable. The root cause is architectural rather than a memory-safety or injection flaw, which is why the vendor's resolution removed the endpoint entirely instead of adding a permission check.

DescriptionCVE.org
Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Unauthenticated PII Exposure via IDOR in Guest Checkout in Easy Store extension 1.0.0-3.0.0 - The checkout.searchGuestUser endpoint allowed querying guest checkout records solely by supplying an email address. The server returned complete shipping details (full name, phone number, street address, city, postal code, and country) directly from the #__easystore_guests table with no authentication, session validation, or ownership checks. An unauthenticated attacker could iterate through email lists to enumerate guest customers and harvest sensitive Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Resolved by removing the unauthenticated server-side guest lookup endpoint entirely and migrating autofill functionality to client-side localStorage protected by explicit user consent.
Executive ViewAI
JoomShaper Easy Store for Joomla versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0 contains a high-severity PII exposure affecting guest checkout records, including names, phone numbers, and full addresses. No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the endpoint is trivially reachable and can be scripted against email lists, so leadership should prioritize inventory, monitoring, and interim controls to reduce customer data and regulatory risk.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict or block access to the checkout.searchGuestUser endpoint via WAF/reverse proxy; disable Easy Store guest checkout or the extension if operationally feasible; monitor web and database logs for enumeration attempts; limit guest checkout data retention; and notify affected individuals if evidence of unauthorized access is found.
