Joomla Extension - cmsjunkie.com - Unauthenticated listing ownership takeover in J-BusinessDirectory < 6.2.3 - Ownership could be changed using attacker-supplied company and user IDs, including for listings that already had an owner. 6.2.3 binds the action to the authenticated user and only allows unowned listings.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated listing ownership takeover in J-BusinessDirectory (a Joomla extension by cmsjunkie.com) prior to version 6.2.3 permits any remote unauthenticated attacker to claim ownership of business directory listings - including listings already owned by legitimate users - by supplying attacker-controlled company and user IDs in HTTP requests. The vulnerability stems from improper access control (CWE-284): the ownership-assignment action is not bound to an authenticated session nor restricted to unowned listings. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | No authentication is required - the CVSS 4.0 vector confirms PR:N and the description explicitly labels this an unauthenticated takeover. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms fully unauthenticated, network-accessible exploitation with no attack complexity or special prerequisites, placing this in the highest-exploitability tier despite the moderate overall score of 6.9 driven by limited impact (VC:L/VI:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker visits a Joomla site running J-BusinessDirectory prior to 6.2.3, identifies target listing IDs by browsing the public directory (company IDs are typically enumerable from URL parameters or listing pages), then sends a crafted HTTP POST or GET request to the ownership-assignment endpoint with the attacker's own user ID and the victim listing's company ID. The server processes the request without validating the requestor's session or the listing's current ownership state, silently transferring control of the listing to the attacker. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade J-BusinessDirectory to version 6.2.3 or later, available from the vendor at https://www.cmsjunkie.com/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
