Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 4 Nov 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 3 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

Upgrade Akeeba Backup for Joomla! to 10.3.7; Akeeba Backup for WordPress and Akeeba Solo to 9.1.8; Admin Tools for Joomla! and akeeba/backup-for-joomla to 7.9.0.

AI-suggested

Upgrade Akeeba Backup for Joomla! to version 10.3.7, 9.1.8, or 7.9.0 or later, where the anti-CSRF protections have been implemented. Applying these official fixes fully mitigates the vulnerability.

Description

Akeeba Backup for Joomla! versions prior to 10.3.7, 9.1.8, and 7.9.0 lack anti-CSRF protections on certain actions. This vulnerability allows an attacker to trick an authenticated user into performing unintended operations by visiting a malicious page. The issue has a medium severity rating and is addressed in the specified fixed versions.

Impact

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to cause authenticated users to perform unintended actions without their consent, potentially leading to unauthorized changes or operations within the Akeeba Backup product. The confidentiality and integrity impacts are low, and there is no impact on availability. There is no evidence of known exploitation in the wild.

Summary

CVE-2026-105296 describes a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability affecting multiple versions of Akeeba Backup for Joomla!. The affected versions do not implement anti-CSRF checks on some actions, enabling attackers to induce authenticated users to execute unwanted operations by accessing malicious web pages. The vulnerability is rated medium severity with a CVSS 3.0 score of 5.4, reflecting low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. Fixed versions are 10.3.7, 9.1.8, and 7.9.0.
