What is CVE-2026-102425?
CVE-2026-102425 is a critical code injection vulnerability in balbooa.com Balbooa Forms extension for Joomla, published on 29 Sep 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Joomla Extension - balbooa.com - Unauthenticated RCE via field shortcode injection in Balbooa Forms < 2.4.3.4 - Balbooa Forms supports administrator-defined PHP code which runs after a public form submission. The feature also supports form-field shortcodes inside that PHP. Before calling `eval()`, the component replaces each shortcode with the raw value submitted by the visitor, leading to an RCE vector. A public form must use the product's optional PHP-after-submission action and interpolate an attacker-controlled field shortcode inside a double-quoted PHP string to be vulnerable.
