Exploitation Conditions

The SP Property Joomla extension must be installed and active on the target Joomla site, and the gallery management controller task endpoint must be publicly reachable without authentication (confirmed by PR:N in the CVSS 4.0 vector). No special Joomla configuration or elevated account privileges are required by the attacker. Exploitation is limited by the web server process permissions - the traversal can only reach filesystem paths accessible to the account running the web server. All versions of SP Property prior to 4.1.4 are vulnerable; sites already running 4.1.4 or later are not affected. The absence of confidentiality impact (VC:N/SC:N) indicates file read operations outside the gallery root are not the primary exposure vector under the assessed impact model.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 (Medium) reflects unauthenticated network reachability (AV:N, AC:L, PR:N, UI:N) combined with low-severity impacts across both vulnerable-system and subsequent-system dimensions, with no confidentiality impact at any layer. The PR:N and UI:N combination means exploitation can be scripted with no preconditions on the attacker side, raising automation potential. However, the absence of High or Critical impact ratings (all impacts are Low) caps real-world damage - this vulnerability does not appear to enable remote code execution or significant data exfiltration on its own. No KEV listing confirms no observed active exploitation; no POC has been disclosed; EPSS data is absent from the available intelligence. The most realistic risk is unauthenticated file writes or reads outside the gallery directory bounded by web server process permissions, which could undermine site integrity or be chained with other vulnerabilities for greater effect. CVSS 4.0's subsequent-system impact (SI:L/SA:L) suggests that files reachable beyond the Joomla application directory may be affected depending on server configuration.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP request to the SP Property gallery management controller endpoint, embedding path-traversal sequences (e.g., ../../) within a gallery image task parameter. Because no directory confinement check is applied, the controller resolves the traversed path and performs file operations (write, access, or delete) outside the intended gallery root directory. Depending on web server permissions, this could allow the attacker to place or overwrite files in other web-accessible directories, affecting site integrity.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 10, 2026

Path traversal in JoomShaper's SP Property Joomla extension (all versions before 4.1.4) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to escape the intended gallery directory due to missing directory confinement checks in the gallery management controller tasks. The CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:N, UI:N, AV:N) confirms exploitation requires no privileges or user interaction, though impact is constrained to low-severity integrity and availability effects on both the vulnerable and subsequent systems with no confidentiality exposure. No public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade SP Property to version 4.1.4 or later, which introduces directory confinement checks in the gallery management controller tasks. The vendor's extension update can be obtained from https://www.joomshaper.com/joomla-extensions/sp-property. As a compensating control prior to patching, restrict public HTTP access to the gallery controller task endpoints via Joomla's ACL settings or web server rules (e.g., blocking requests matching the gallery task URL pattern in Apache/Nginx); note this may disable legitimate gallery management functionality for editors. Additionally, ensure the web server process runs under a least-privilege OS account to limit the filesystem scope reachable through path traversal, reducing the blast radius if exploitation occurs.

Technical ContextAI · show details

SP Property is a commercial Joomla real estate listing extension developed by JoomShaper (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:joomshaper.com:sp_property_extension_for_joomla:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*). The vulnerability class is CWE-22 (Path Traversal), which occurs when user-controlled path components are concatenated into filesystem operations without boundary enforcement. Specifically, the gallery management controller's task handlers process image file paths without validating that resolved paths remain within the designated gallery root directory. An attacker-supplied path containing traversal sequences (e.g., ../../) can therefore escape the gallery directory and interact with arbitrary filesystem locations accessible to the web server process. The CVSS 4.0 impact profile (VC:N/VI:L/VA:L, SC:N/SI:L/SA:L) points to an integrity- and availability-affecting traversal rather than a pure read-based information disclosure, suggesting the primary risk is unauthorized file placement or modification outside the gallery boundary.
