## What is CVE-2026-78375?

CVE-2026-78375 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in joomshaper.com SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) extension for Joomla, published on 14 Sep 2026. An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

Joomla Extension - joomshaper.com - Authenticated Privileged SQL Injection in the Content Plugin of SP Page Builder (Free and Pro) 5.2.1 - 6.9.0 - plgContentSppagebuilder::onContentAfterSave() read jform[attribs][sppagebuilder_article_id] from the request and concatenated it directly into the WHERE view_id = ... clause of a query against #__sppagebuilder without quoting or type casting. Joomla's ARRAY input filter does not sanitise element values, as InputFilter::clean() returns (array) $source with the elements untouched, so the entire payload could be delivered in a single POST field. The affected block also executed before the com_content.article context test, so it ran on every onContentAfterSave event regardless of which component triggered the save. An attacker could perform time-based blind SQL injection to read arbitrary database contents, including the #__users and #__session tables.

Weakness: CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command)
