Technical details

A code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) exists in the Quix Page Builder Pro extension for Joomla (versions 1.0 through 6.2.0). Authenticated users with 'core.create' or 'core.edit' permissions can inject PHP tags into page element content. This malicious code is subsequently executed when the Joomla view-cache processes the content via an include() call. The exploit requires the Joomla caching feature to be enabled, which is the default configuration. Successful exploitation allows for remote code execution (RCE) with the privileges of the web server user.
