## Technical details

The Events Booking extension for Joomla (versions prior to 5.8.0) suffers from an insecure default initialization of resources (CWE-1188). By default, the extension's configuration permitted unauthenticated (guest) users to perform media asset uploads. An attacker can exploit this by sending unauthenticated requests to the upload component, potentially leading to resource exhaustion or the hosting of arbitrary media files. The issue was addressed in version 5.8.0 by hardening the default permissions for media uploads.
