Executive Summary

This vulnerability allows authenticated Joomla users with builder permissions to inject PHP code into page elements. The injected code executes when cached views are included, potentially allowing remote code execution on the server.

Detection Guidance

Check Joomla installations for Quix Page Builder Pro. Look for unauthorized PHP code in cached files or element content. Review user permissions for core.create/core.edit actions. Inspect view-cache includes for suspicious PHP tags.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could take full control of your Joomla site, steal data, install malware, or use it as a pivot point to attack other systems. Requires an authenticated user with builder permissions but could lead to complete system compromise.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or exfiltration, violating GDPR's data protection requirements and HIPAA's security rules for protected health information. Organizations may face fines or legal consequences if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Disable caching in Quix Page Builder Pro settings if enabled. Remove PHP execution permissions from user roles with core.create/core.edit access. Review and sanitize all element content for PHP tags before saving. Update to the latest patched version of Quix Page Builder Pro as soon as available.
