CVE-2026-48944 | BDVDB-2026-343133 Detail

getk2.orgK2 extension for Joomla

Description#

The K2 frontend article-save handler accepts an `attachment[N][existing]` POST field that is concatenated with `JPATH_SITE/` and passed to `JFile::copy()`. `JPath::clean` does NOT strip `..`, and there is no allow-list of source paths. An Author can therefore copy `configuration.php` (or any other file readable by the web user — including `../../../etc/passwd`) into `/media/k2/attachments/`, then retrieve the contents via the K2 attachment-download endpoint.

Impact#

Per CVSS v3.1: confidentiality impact high, integrity impact none, availability impact none. Attack vector: network.
