Summary

CVE-2026-67285 is an unauthenticated local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerability in the SP Page Builder extension for Joomla, caused by improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory (CWE-22). The flaw allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to force the component to include arbitrary local PHP files accessible on the server. It carries a CVSS v4.0 base score of 9.2 (Critical), reflecting the fact that no credentials or user interaction are required to exploit it over the network.

Technical details

  • Root cause: SP Page Builder fails to properly sanitize/restrict a path parameter used when including PHP files, allowing path traversal (CWE-22).
  • Trigger conditions: No authentication is required; the vulnerable functionality is reachable by any remote, unauthenticated user.
  • Attack vector: Network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring attack requirements to be met (AT:P), but no privileges (PR:N) or user interaction (UI:N).
  • Impact: High impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) — inclusion of arbitrary local PHP files can be leveraged to disclose sensitive files or, where an attacker can influence file content on disk, to achieve remote code execution.

Affected software

  • SP Page Builder extension for Joomla (joomshaper.com), versions 1.0.0 through 6.7.1.
  • Fixed in version 6.8.0.

Severity

  • CVSS v4.0 Base Score: 9.2 (Critical)
  • Vector: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N

Mitigation and recommended actions

  • Immediate: Upgrade SP Page Builder to version 6.8.0 or later, where the file inclusion issue is remediated.
  • If no patch can be applied immediately: Restrict public network access to the Joomla site’s SP Page Builder endpoints where feasible, and deploy a WAF rule to block path traversal sequences (e.g., ../, encoded traversal patterns) in requests targeting the component.
  • Review web server and application logs for anomalous file-include requests or attempts to reference PHP files outside expected component paths.

How IONIX’s External Exposure Management Platform Detects and Validates
Zero-Days to Shrink MTTR

1

Map your entire attack surface (continously)

IONIX uses multi-factor discovery methods, including DNS analysis, certificate mapping, metadata inspection, and more, to automatically map every internet-facing asset across your environment. This includes cloud instances, third-party platforms, shadow IT, and even forgotten infrastructure that traditional tools miss.

2

Monitor for new CVEs

Dozens of threat intel feeds using agentic technology are continuously analyzed to detect the appearance of proof-of-concept code, exploit kits, and indicators of active targeting. IONIX goes further by applying AI to proactively evaluate whether emerging vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited, even before PoCs go public.

3

Identify Potential External Exposures

Not all CVEs matter. IONIX filters vulnerabilities by asking attacker-centric questions: Can it be reached from the internet? Does it require authentication? Is it being exploited in the wild? This dramatically reduces noise and focuses teams on threats that can actually be weaponized.

4

Create Safe, Scalable Exploit Validations

IONIX transforms real-world PoCs into safe, non-intrusive test payloads that can be run in production environments without disruption. These simulations are precisely targeted to the systems that are vulnerable, ensuring rapid validation without unnecessary load.

5

Execute Exploit Validations

By combining context about software stack, versioning, exposure status, and reachability, IONIX ensures that only the right payloads are executed against the right assets, maximizing efficiency and minimizing risk.

6

Drive Fast and Actionable Remediation

Results are routed through integrations with ticketing, SOAR, and SIEM tools. Issues are written in plain language, bundled into remediation clusters, and prioritized based on asset criticality, exploitability, and blast radius. This shortens mean time to remediation (MTTR) and empowers teams to act with confidence.
