Technical details

The vulnerability is a PHP code injection in the Conditional Content Pro extension for Joomla. The extension accepts inline PHP condition rules in article syntax without proper validation of the code author. The vulnerable component fails to verify that only trusted authors can inject PHP; Joomla's text filter preserves the PHP syntax, allowing arbitrary code execution when the article is published. The attack requires authentication and publishing privileges but runs with web-server process permissions. An attacker with author or publisher role can achieve remote code execution by crafting malicious PHP conditions in article content.
