CVE-2006-3774: PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in performs.php in the perForms component (com_performs) 1.0 and ea...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Joomla perForms component flaw that could let a remote attacker run PHP code on a vulnerable site. Business risk is highest for legacy Joomla sites still running com_performs 1.0 or earlier. The source bundle does not show active exploitation or a confirmed patch. Exposure is likely limited to internet-facing Joomla installations with the perForms component com_performs version 1.0 or earlier still present. Modern sites without this legacy component are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Prioritize quickly if any public Joomla site still runs this component. The vulnerability class can lead to server compromise, but urgency depends on confirmed exposure because the issue is from 2006 and source evidence is sparse. Mitigation focus: Inventory Joomla sites for com_performs or perForms 1.0 and earlier.; Check original vendor or trusted Joomla extension guidance for fixed versions or retirement advice.; Remove or disable the component if it is unused or unsupported..
