AI-suggested

Project vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, administrators should consider disabling or restricting access to the profile.save controller or enabling user registration controls to prevent unauthorized account creation.

Description

A vulnerability in Joomla! CMS versions 1.5.0 through 5.4.8 and 6.0.0 through 6.1.3 allows unauthorized creation of guest-level user accounts via the profile.save controller. This occurs because the controller does not verify the login state of the user, enabling account creation on sites without active user registration.
