CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe SP Page Builder extension for Joomla versions 4.0.0 to 6.9.0 has a vulnerability that allows unauthorized users to create and overwrite menu items due to insufficient access controls in the add-to-menu functionality. This flaw could enable attackers to manipulate critical site navigation, including changing the home menu item, potentially leading to site defacement or phishing attacks. Joomla administrators and developers using this extension should prioritize applying updates or implementing mitigations to safeguard their sites.
Original NVD Description
Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Missing Access Control in Menu Item Creation in SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) 4.0.0 - 6.9.0 - The add-to-menu routine invoked the com_menus item model's save() method directly. That model does not perform authorisation itself, because the relevant checks reside in the com_menus controller, and the only check applied was core.edit on com_sppagebuilder. Users with no permissions whatsoever on com_menus could therefore create menu items, and because the record identifier was taken from the submitted jform[menuid] field, could also overwrite existing ones. The home flag was read back from the database and preserved, so the site's home menu item could be repointed while remaining the home item.
