Description

Joomla Extension - regularlabs.com - Authenticated, privileged remote code execution in Conditional Content extension for Joomla < 8.0.0 - Conditional Content Pro accepts inline PHP Condition Rules in article syntax. In affected versions, the PHP is passed to the Conditions evaluator without checking who authored the article. Joomla's normal Author text filter preserves the syntax, so publishing the article causes the code to run as the web-server process.

Executive Summary

This is an authenticated, privileged remote code execution vulnerability in the Conditional Content extension for Joomla versions below 8.0.0. The Pro version accepts inline PHP Condition Rules in article syntax without verifying the article author. When published, the PHP code executes as the web-server process due to Joomla's Author text filter preserving the syntax.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with authenticated access could execute arbitrary code on the server with the privileges of the web-server process. This could lead to full system compromise, data theft, or further network infiltration depending on the server's configuration and permissions.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, violating confidentiality requirements in GDPR and HIPAA. Organizations may face compliance breaches, legal penalties, and reputational damage if exploited.

Mitigation Strategies

Update the Conditional Content Pro extension for Joomla to version 8.0.0 or later to address the authenticated remote code execution vulnerability.
