MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the SP Page Builder Pro Dynamic Content Filter addon to be in use on a page with a slider field, since the flaw is in how the slider minimum/maximum values from the dc_filter_<fieldId> request parameter are rendered - split on the 'l-r' delimiter and echoed unescaped as the span element's text content. No authentication is needed (PR:N), but successful attack requires user interaction (UI:P): a victim must load the attacker-supplied URL carrying the crafted parameter. Limiting factors are the need to deliver the link to and have it opened by a victim, the dependency on the Dynamic Content Filter addon actually being deployed and configured with the affected field, and the browser-scoped, non-persistent nature of reflected XSS (no server-side compromise). |
| Impact | This is a medium-severity reflected cross-site scripting flaw (CVSS 4.0 base 5.3) in the Dynamic Content Filter addon of SP Page Builder Pro for Joomla. The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated attack that nonetheless requires victim interaction (UI:P) - the victim must follow a crafted link carrying the malicious dc_filter_<fieldId> parameter. Impact is limited to low confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the vulnerable system only (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L, SC/SI/SA:N), consistent with reflected XSS that executes in the victim's browser session rather than compromising the server. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, POC reference, or SSVC decision data was supplied, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. On balance this is a real but moderate-priority issue typical of reflected XSS: the unauthenticated network vector and clear technical root cause (double-handling of the value - HTML-escaped in the data-value attribute but echoed unescaped as span text content) make exploitation straightforward for a skilled attacker, but the required user interaction and browser-scoped, non-persistent impact keep it well below the urgency of a server-side RCE or a persistent/stored XSS. Prioritize patching, but it does not warrant emergency out-of-band response absent exploitation signals. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a URL to a Joomla site running SP Page Builder Pro with a malicious dc_filter_<fieldId> parameter whose value, split on the 'l-r' delimiter, injects script into the slider span's text content. The attacker delivers the link via phishing email, malicious ad, or a forum post; when a victim clicks it, the arbitrary HTML/JavaScript reflects into the rendered page and executes in their browser, enabling session/cookie theft or UI redress. No public proof-of-concept exploit was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 05, 2026
Reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) in the Dynamic Content Filter addon of the SP Page Builder Pro extension for Joomla (versions 3.0.0 through 5.6.1p2) allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary HTML or JavaScript into a victim's browser by crafting a URL with a malicious dc_filter_<fieldId> parameter, provided the addon is used with a slider field. The flaw is rated medium severity (CVSS 4.0 base 5.3; independent assessment CVSS 3.1 base 5.3) and requires user interaction-the victim must load the crafted link. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and CISA KEV does not list active exploitation.
RemediationAI
No specific patched version is identified in the available data; administrators should consult the vendor's SP Page Builder Pro page (https://www.joomshaper.com/joomla-extensions/sp-page-builder-pro) for updates and apply the latest release if a fix becomes available. If an update is not yet available, consider disabling the Dynamic Content Filter addon or removing slider fields from pages until a patch is released. Note that disabling the addon will break any page functionality that relies on it. As a temporary mitigation, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) can be configured to block requests with suspicious characters in dc_filter_* parameters, though this may cause false positives for legitimate slider values. Additionally, ensure that Joomla and all extensions are kept up-to-date, and advise users to avoid clicking untrusted links.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is a classic reflected XSS (CWE-79) in the Joomla CMS ecosystem. SP Page Builder Pro is a proprietary page-building extension by Joomshaper. The Dynamic Content Filter addon processes the dc_filter_<fieldId> request parameter to set the minimum and maximum values of a slider field. The parameter is split on the 'l-r' delimiter, and the resulting values are HTML-escaped when placed inside the data-value attribute, but they are then echoed without escaping as the text content of a span element. This inconsistent encoding allows an attacker to break out of the intended context and execute arbitrary script in the victim's browser. The attack surface is limited to pages where the Dynamic Content Filter addon is deployed with a slider field; the XSS is non-persistent and browser-scoped, with no server-side compromise. The affected component is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:joomshaper.com:sp_page_builder_(pro)_extension_for_joomla:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.

DescriptionCVE.org
Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Reflected XSS in the Dynamic Content Filter addon in SP Page Builder Pro 3.0.0 - 5.6.1p2 - The slider minimum and maximum values are taken from the dc_filter_<fieldId> request parameter, split on the delimiter "l-r", HTML-escaped inside the data-value attribute, and then echoed without escaping as the span element's text content. An unauthenticated attacker reflects arbitrary HTML or JavaScript into the rendered page through a crafted dc_filter_<fieldId> value.
