CVE-2026-81564

The Joomla extension SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) versions 4.0.0–6.9.0 contains a Missing Access Control vulnerability in menu item creation. The add-to-menu routine invoked the com_menus item model's save() method directly; that model does not perform authorisation itself, because the relevant checks reside in the com_menus controller, and the only check applied was core.edit on com_sppagebuilder. Users with no permissions whatsoever on com_menus could therefore create menu items, and because the record identifier was taken from the submitted jform[menuid] field, could also overwrite existing ones. The home flag was read back from the database and preserved, so the site's home menu item could be repointed while remaining the home item.

In the SP Page Builder extension (versions 4.0.0 - 6.9.0), the folder request parameter replaced the generated date-based destination folder entirely and was passed to Folder::create() and File::upload() without directory boundary checks. This allowed files to be written into any directory beneath the web root, including administrator/, templates/, cli/ and the site root. Joomla's PATH input filter prevented traversal above the web root, and existing files were not overwritten.

Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Authenticated Privileged SQL Injection in the Content Plugin of SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) 5.2.1 - 6.9.0 - plgContentSppagebuilder::onContentAfterSave() read jform[attribs][sppagebuilder_article_id] from the request and concatenated it directly into the WHERE view_id = ... clause of a query against #__sppagebuilder without quoting or type casting. Joomla's ARRAY input filter does not sanitise element values, as InputFilter::clean() returns (array) $source with the elements untouched, so the entire payload could be delivered in a single POST field. The affected block also executed before the com_content.article context test, so it ran on every onContentAfterSave event regardless of which component triggered the save. An attacker could perform time-based blind SQL injection to read arbitrary database contents, including the #__users and #__session tables.

Joomla extension SP Page Builder before version 6.8.0 contains an unauthenticated arbitrary local PHP file inclusion vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker can perform includes to arbitrary PHP files that are accessible by the system.

Joomla extension SP Page Builder before version 6.8.0 contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability. Improper validation of catid parameters in the loadMoreArticles endpoint allows an attacker to execute SQL queries.

The SP Page Builder extension for Joomla versions below 6.7.1 contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the Dynamic Content endpoint due to improper validation of the order parameter.

In Joomla extension SP Page Builder before 6.8.0, an unauthenticated attacker can create comments even when guest commenting is disabled by overriding the setting with user-supplied input.
