CVE-2026-81565 Details
Description
Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Missing Directory Confinement in Media Upload in SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) 4.0.0 - 6.9.0 - The folder request parameter replaced the generated date-based destination folder in its entirety and was then passed to Folder::create() and File::upload() without either of the directory boundary checks applied elsewhere in the same file. Files could be written into any directory beneath the web root, including administrator/, templates/, cli/ and the site root. Joomla's PATH input filter prevented traversal above the web root, and existing files were not overwritten.
A directory traversal vulnerability has been identified in the SP Page Builder extension for Joomla, affecting both the Free and Pro versions from 4.0.0 to 6.9.0. The issue arises from the media upload feature, where the folder request parameter completely replaced the default date-based destination folder. This modified path was then passed to the Folder::create() and File::upload() methods without proper directory boundary checks. As a result, files could be uploaded to any directory within the web root, including sensitive areas such as administrator/, templates/, cli/, and the site root. Although Joomla's PATH input filter blocked traversal above the web root, the vulnerability allowed for the creation of new files in these directories, without overwriting existing ones.
