CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe vulnerability affects the Helix Ultimate Joomla extension, specifically versions prior to 2.2.10, allowing unauthorized users to delete arbitrary files from the server by exploiting broken object-level authorization in the image deletion functionality. This could lead to potential data loss or service disruption, particularly on Joomla 3 installations where physical file deletion is enabled. Joomla site administrators and developers using the affected extension should prioritize applying the patch to mitigate the risk of unauthorized file manipulation.
Original NVD Description
Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Broken Object-Level Authorization in Blog Image Deletion in Helix Ultimate < 2.2.10 - `Blog::remove_image()` checked whether the user was authorized to edit the article ID passed in the request, but did not verify whether the specified image path (src) belonged to that article. On Joomla 3 builds where physical file deletion was triggered, an author could supply their own article ID alongside an arbitrary file path under the `/images/` directory to delete arbitrary files.
