Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A vulnerable Easy Shop extension on Joomla can expose files the website should keep private. An unauthenticated attacker may read sensitive files such as Joomla configuration data, which can contain database credentials or secrets. The supplied sources do not show CISA KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation, but a public ExploitDB reference exists.
Executive priority
Prioritize affected public Joomla storefronts because configuration file disclosure can lead to credential theft and follow-on compromise. This is not evidenced as actively exploited in the provided sources, but public exploit availability raises practical risk.
Technical view
CVE-2019-25760 affects Joomtech Easy Shop 1.2.3 for Joomla. The ajax.loadImage task in com_easyshop accepts a base64-encoded file path and can return arbitrary local files without authentication. The record maps this to CWE-98 and gives CVSS 4.0 score 6.9.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to Joomla sites running Easy Shop version 1.2.3 and reachable by untrusted users. Sites no longer using this component, or not running Joomla, are not indicated as affected by the supplied sources.
Exploitation context
The source bundle cites an ExploitDB entry, so public exploit information exists. The bundle marks KEV as false and provides no cited evidence of active exploitation in the wild. Treat internet-facing affected sites as higher priority because arbitrary file reads can expose credentials.
Researcher notes
The description indicates unauthenticated web requests, while the supplied CVSS vector lists AV:L. Treat this as a source inconsistency requiring confirmation from primary records. No patch version, vendor advisory detail, or exploit-in-the-wild evidence is included in the bundle.
Mitigation direction
- Identify Joomla sites running Easy Shop 1.2.3.
- Check Joomtech or Joomla extension guidance for fixed versions or removal advice.
- Disable or remove Easy Shop if no supported fix is available.
- Restrict public access to affected Joomla administration and component paths where feasible.
- Rotate secrets if configuration.php or credential files may have been exposed.
Validation and detection
- Inventory Joomla extensions and confirm Easy Shop version numbers.
- Review web logs for requests involving com_easyshop and ajax.loadImage.
- Check whether sensitive configuration files were accessed during suspicious request windows.
- Confirm the component is updated, disabled, removed, or otherwise isolated.
- Document compensating controls if the component must remain temporarily available.

Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion')
Improper Control of Filename for Include/Require Statement in PHP Program ('PHP Remote File Inclusion') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
