Description
Joomla Extension - balbooa.com - Unauthenticated recursive directory deletion < 2.20.2 - The generateNewApp method allows actors to recursively delete directories.
A vulnerability in the Balbooa Gridbox Joomla extension, affecting versions prior to 2.20.2, allows for unauthenticated recursive directory deletion. The issue arises in the 'generateNewApp' method, where it improperly handles directory deletion requests, enabling actors to delete directories and their contents recursively.
