Description
A path traversal vulnerability exists in the SP Property extension for Joomla versions 1.0.0 through 4.1.3. The flaw is due to improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory in the gallery image management controller, which lacks directory confinement checks. This vulnerability was assigned CVE-2026-78085 and has a medium severity rating with a CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9.
Impact
An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read or manipulate files outside the designated gallery image directories. This could lead to unauthorized disclosure or modification of files on the affected system. The CVSS 4.0 score of 6.9 indicates a medium impact with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, no user interaction, and limited impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Summary
CVE-2026-78085 is a path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) in the SP Property extension for Joomla by joomshaper.com. The issue arises because the gallery management controller tasks do not enforce directory confinement checks, allowing an attacker to potentially access files outside the intended directories. This affects versions from 1.0.0 up to and including 4.1.3.

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
