CVE-2026-90899: CWE-200 Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in joomshaper.com Easy Store extension for Joomla
An unauthenticated information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Easy Store extension for Joomla versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0. The checkout.searchGuestUser endpoint allowed attackers to retrieve full shipping details of guest checkout users by supplying only an email address, without authentication or ownership verification. This exposed sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) such as full name, phone number, street address, city, postal code, and country. The issue was resolved by removing the unauthenticated guest lookup endpoint and moving autofill functionality to client-side localStorage with explicit user consent.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-90899 is an unauthenticated Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the Easy Store extension for Joomla (versions 1.0.0 to 3.0.0). The vulnerable endpoint checkout.searchGuestUser allowed attackers to query guest checkout records by email address and receive complete shipping details from the #__easystore_guests database table without any authentication, session validation, or ownership checks. This allowed enumeration and harvesting of sensitive PII. The vendor mitigated the issue by removing the server-side guest lookup endpoint and implementing client-side autofill with user consent.
Potential Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can enumerate guest checkout users by email and retrieve sensitive PII including full names, phone numbers, and full shipping addresses. This exposure risks privacy violations and potential targeted attacks against affected individuals. The vulnerability has a high severity CVSS score of 8.2, reflecting the ease of access and sensitivity of the data exposed. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
The vulnerability has been resolved by the vendor through removal of the unauthenticated server-side guest lookup endpoint and migration of autofill functionality to client-side localStorage protected by explicit user consent. Users should upgrade to a fixed version beyond 3.0.0 once available or apply vendor-provided patches. Until then, disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable endpoint is recommended.
