1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | The Fabrik extension for Joomla (any version 1.0.0-4.7.2) must be installed and enabled on the target Joomla site. The form.inlineedit controller endpoint must be publicly reachable - i.e., the Joomla front-end is internet-accessible and not restricted by IP allowlist or authentication wall. No authenticated session, no special role, and no non-default Fabrik configuration is required; the omission of access checks is unconditional in the affected versions. Exploitation is limited to read-only row disclosure (no write/delete capability implied) and to data stored within Fabrik-managed tables. Sites that front Joomla behind authenticated reverse proxies or that have disabled Fabrik's front-end component access via Joomla's global configuration are not exploitable. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 reflects a fully network-accessible, zero-interaction, unauthenticated attack path (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) with low confidentiality impact to the vulnerable system (VC:L) and no integrity or availability impact. The low-confidentiality rating is appropriate because disclosure is limited to individual form rows rather than bulk database dumps, though repeated requests could enumerate significant data sets. No EPSS score was provided in the source data; given the absence of KEV listing and known POC code, opportunistic mass exploitation appears unlikely at present, but the zero-barrier exploitation conditions (no account, no special network position) mean any motivated actor can attempt it trivially. Defenders on sites using Fabrik for sensitive intake forms (contact data, registrations, surveys) should treat this as a medium-high priority patch despite the moderate CVSS score. No conflicting signals between CVSS vector and the description were identified. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker who knows (or discovers via fingerprinting) that a Joomla site runs Fabrik sends a crafted HTTP GET or POST request targeting index.php?option=com_fabrik&task=form.inlineedit with a target row identifier; the controller returns the requested row's field values without any session or permission check. Repeated iteration over row IDs would enumerate form submission data. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the attack requires only standard HTTP tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 22, 2026
Unauthenticated row disclosure in the Fabrik extension for Joomla (all versions 1.0.0 through 4.7.2) allows any remote, unauthenticated user to read arbitrary form row data by invoking the form.inlineedit controller, which performs no access checks before returning database rows. The flaw is purely an authorization omission (CWE-284) rather than a logic or cryptographic weakness, making it trivial to exploit against any Joomla installation with Fabrik active. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though the unauthenticated network-accessible nature (CVSS 4.0: AV:N/AC:L/PR:N) keeps real-world risk meaningful for sites that store sensitive user-submitted form data.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Fabrik to version 4.7.3 or later, which is the first release confirmed to contain a fix per EUVD-2026-64328. The fix should introduce proper ACL checks inside the form.inlineedit controller. Vendor information is available at https://www.fabrikar.com/. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, a compensating control is to disable the Fabrik extension entirely (Joomla Extensions Manager → Disable) until patching is feasible - this removes the vulnerable endpoint at the cost of all Fabrik-dependent forms. Alternatively, a WAF or ModSecurity rule blocking requests containing task=form.inlineedit against the Joomla index.php entry point can block exploitation with minimal site-functionality impact, though this does not address the underlying flaw. Restricting public access to Joomla installations via IP allowlist is a broader compensating control where operationally viable.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Fabrik (fabrikar.com) is a data-management and form-building extension for the Joomla CMS, identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:fabrikar.com:fabrik_extension_for_joomla. The extension exposes MVC controllers through Joomla's component routing layer; the specific controller at fault is form.inlineedit, which handles in-place row editing in rendered Fabrik forms. CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) captures the root cause: the controller dispatches a database read and serializes the row response without first invoking Joomla's ACL or any extension-level permission gate. Because Joomla's front-end routing makes component controllers reachable via crafted query strings (e.g., index.php?option=com_fabrik&task=form.inlineedit), no server-side infrastructure change is needed to reach the vulnerable code path.
