CVE-2026-78069 Details
Description
Joomla Extension - j2commerce.com - Missing authorization on Apps controller delegation chain in J2Store 1.0.0-3.3.21, 4.0.0-4.0.21, 4.1.0-4.1.6 - `J2StoreControllerApps`'s `appTask` delegation path instantiates app-plugin controllers with no ACL check anywhere in the code. It currently returns 403 only as a side effect of `fof.xml`'s wildcard-deny resolving under the singularised ACL key `app`, which has no explicit allow rule — not because of any deliberate check. Behind that path, `applocalizationdata::getInstallerTool()` used a caller-influenced table name with no allow-list, both to select a `#__j2store_*` table for truncation and to build a path to SQL files it then executes — a path-traversal-capable file read/execute.
A vulnerability exists in the J2Store Joomla extension, specifically in versions 1.0.0 through 3.3.21, 4.0.0 through 4.0.21, and 4.1.0 through 4.1.6. The issue arises from the Apps controller's delegation chain, which lacks proper authorization checks. This oversight allows app-plugin controllers to be instantiated without any access control, leading to potential unauthorized actions. The absence of authorization checks could be exploited to manipulate application data or functionality.
