Multiple incomplete blacklist vulnerabilities in the Simple File Upload (mod_simplefileuploadv1.3) module before 1.3.5 for Joomla! allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with a (1) php5, (2) php6, or (3) double (e.g. .php.jpg) extension, then accessing it via a direct request to the file in images/, as exploited in the wild in January 2012.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This affects the Simple File Upload module for Joomla before 1.3.5. A website using the vulnerable module could let an unauthenticated remote attacker upload a file that the server later executes as code. That can turn a normal file upload feature into a full website compromise risk. Exposure is likely limited to Joomla sites running Simple File Upload before 1.3.5, especially if the module is internet-facing and permits public uploads. The source bundle does not identify CPEs or broader affected products. Treat as high priority for any legacy Joomla estate. Remote code execution through public upload functionality can lead to site takeover, data theft, defacement, or malware hosting. Prioritize discovery first because this is an old extension risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Simple File Upload to 1.3.5 or later if still installed.; If upgrade status is unclear, disable or remove the module.; Check Joomla vulnerable extension guidance and vendor notes..
