MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires (1) the EasyStore extension for Joomla installed at version 1.0.0 through 3.0.0, and (2) a victim who is already authenticated with an active session and is tricked into loading attacker-controlled web content (UI:P) that issues a cross-site POST to task=product.addReview. The vulnerable state exists in default code because the anti-CSRF token verification was commented out in ProductController, so no special server configuration is needed - but the attack is limited to the review-submission function, yields only unauthorized or spam reviews (low integrity impact), and cannot succeed without the required user interaction and a valid victim session. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite being remotely triggerable. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N) and CWE-352 classification are internally consistent: an unauthenticated attacker can reach the endpoint over the network, but exploitation requires tricking a logged-in victim into visiting an attacker-controlled page (UI:P), and the only impact is a low integrity effect - forging or spamming product reviews (VC:N, VA:N). No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC are provided in the intelligence, so there is no evidence of active or automated exploitation; the single reference is the vendor's own product page rather than an independent advisory or exploit writeup. No signals conflict, but the impact ceiling itself is low: this is a data-integrity/spam nuisance affecting a storefront review feature, not a path to account takeover, data disclosure, or service disruption. Real-world priority is low - patch during routine maintenance rather than emergency response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker hosts a web page containing a hidden auto-submitting form (or image/fetch) targeting index.php?option=com_easystore&task=product.addReview. When a currently-logged-in EasyStore user visits the page, their browser silently submits a review under their identity because the anti-CSRF token check was commented out in ProductController. No public POC is identified, and the attack succeeds only against a victim with an active session who is lured into loading the malicious page. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 23, 2026
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in the EasyStore extension for Joomla (versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0) allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to trick a logged-in victim into submitting unauthorized product reviews or review spam via the product.addReview endpoint. The flaw stems from commented-out anti-CSRF token verification, and exploitation requires the victim to visit attacker-controlled content while authenticated. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and the impact is limited to low integrity (unauthorized reviews) without confidentiality or availability loss.
RemediationAI
A patch is available per the vendor advisory at https://www.joomshaper.com/easystore; update the EasyStore extension to the latest release, which enforces Session::checkToken() in ProductController, adds HTMLHelper::_('form.token') to the review form template, and includes the token in review-form.js. If immediate patching is not possible, disable the product review submission feature or restrict access to the addReview endpoint (e.g., via a web application firewall rule blocking POST requests to index.php?option=com_easystore&task=product.addReview without a valid token), though this may break legitimate reviews. Alternatively, require re-authentication or implement custom token validation. Note that blocking the endpoint entirely prevents all review submissions, which may be a business trade-off.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The EasyStore extension for Joomla is a PHP-based e-commerce component that exposes a review submission endpoint (index.php?option=com_easystore&task=product.addReview). The vulnerability is a classic CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery) issue: the anti-CSRF token check was commented out in ProductController, and the review form template did not include the token via HTMLHelper::_('form.token'). The session token was also missing from the review-form.js submission payload. Joomla's Session::checkToken() is the standard defense; its absence allows cross-site POST requests to forge review submissions. The CPE identifies the affected product as joomshaper.com:easy_store_extension_for_joomla, with all versions up to 3.0.0 potentially affected. The fix enforces Session::checkToken('request') or ('post'), injects the token into the form, and appends it to the AJAX payload.

DescriptionCVE.org
Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Missing CSRF Token Verification in Storefront Product Review Submission in Easy Store extension 1.0.0-3.0.0 - The product review submission endpoint (index.php?option=com_easystore&task=product.addReview) accepted submissions without verifying an anti-CSRF token (the check had been commented out in code). An attacker could trick a logged-in user into posting unauthorized reviews or submitting review spam via cross-site requests. Resolved by enforcing Session::checkToken('request') / Session::checkToken('post') in ProductController, injecting HTMLHelper::_('form.token') into the review form template, and appending the session token to the submission payload in review-form.js.
