An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-49049 exists.\n\nAffected product: joomshaper.com Helix3 extension for Joomla. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-49049/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-49049/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-49049","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-49049/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-49049","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xr7r-292v-jxg8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Joomla Helix3 extension","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can delete files, write JSON, and modify template parameters via an exposed ajax handler in the Helix3 Joomla extension.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Joomla","cpe":[{"product":"helix3","vendor":"ollyo"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The Helix3 plugin for Joomla exposes an ajax handler task, that allows unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files, write arbitrary JSON files and update template parameters.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-07-04","github_poc":8,"max_poc_stars":4,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2026-07-04T16:28:06Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/shinthink/CVE-2026-49049","stars":4,"title":"Read-only vulnerability scanner for CVE-2026-49049 — Helix3 Joomla plugin unauthenticated AJAX handler"},{"date":"2026-07-05T12:52:49Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/frada321/asdsadsadasdasdsadsad","stars":0,"title":" CVE-2026-49049 - Unauthenticated File Deletion, Arbitrary Write \u0026 XSS Injection for Helix3 Joomla Extension"},{"date":"2026-07-10T08:26:45Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Dr-D25/CVE-2026-49049","stars":0,"title":null},{"date":"2026-07-13T19:38:34Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/ExDev994/CVE-2026-49049","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2026-49049 Helix3 (JoomShaper) Joomla Unauthenticated AJAX RCE Scanner"},{"date":"2026-07-15T02:59:18Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/6ickzone/Helix3-Mass-Exploiter","stars":0,"title":"Mass Exploiter for CVE-2026-49049"},{"date":"2026-08-02T02:42:32Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Jenderal92/CVE-2026-49049","stars":0,"title":"Mass vulnerability scanner for CVE-2026-49049 – Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution in Joomla Helix3 plugin.
