Description

CVE-2026-75115 is a high severity path traversal vulnerability in the YOOtheme Pro extension for Joomla versions 2.3.0 through 5.0.40. It allows authenticated privileged users to read arbitrary files on the filesystem due to improper limitation of pathname filtering in the Filesystem source component. This vulnerability arises from glob-based pattern filtering that can be bypassed to access restricted files.

Technical Analysis

The YOOtheme Pro extension for Joomla (versions 2.3.0 to 5.0.40) contains a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in its Filesystem source path filter. The filter relies on glob-based pattern matching which is insufficient to restrict file access properly. As a result, authenticated users with elevated privileges can exploit this flaw to read arbitrary files on the server, potentially exposing sensitive information. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 7.0, indicating a high severity vulnerability with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Potential Impact

An authenticated user with privileged access can read arbitrary files on the server hosting the YOOtheme Pro extension. This could lead to disclosure of sensitive information stored in files outside the intended directory scope. The vulnerability does not allow privilege escalation or remote code execution but compromises confidentiality and partially affects integrity and availability.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or remediation details are provided in the available data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict access to privileged users and monitor for suspicious file access patterns related to the YOOtheme Pro extension.
