Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in JoomShaper SP Page Builder Extension up to 6.9.0 and classified as problematic. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code of the component Media Rename. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. 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. As an impact it is known to affect integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Missing Directory Confinement in Media Rename Allowing Arbitrary File Rename in SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) 4.0.0 - 6.9.0 - The media rename task applied neither of the directory boundary checks used by the folder operations in the same controller, and its validation guard required only that either a media record exist for the supplied identifier or that the supplied path be present in #__spmedia, rather than both. The identifier and the path were consequently never checked against one another, so any valid media identifier could be paired with an unrelated filesystem path, and the STR input filter left traversal sequences intact. An attacker could rename files elsewhere in the installation, including renaming configuration.php to take the site offline.
