JoomliC iCagenda

CVE-2026-48939, iCagenda for Joomla: unauthenticated file-upload-to-RCE, exploited as a zero-day, added to CISA KEV (CVSS 4.0 10.0)

iCagenda's frontend "Submit an Event" form processed uploaded attachments by keeping the visitor-supplied file extension and writing the file straight to images/icagenda/frontend/attachments/ under the web root, with no extension allow-list and no content-type check (mySites.guru, 2026-06-15). Crucially, the "who may submit an event" access check was applied only in the view that decides whether to draw the form, never in the controller that processed the submission, so an attacker harvested a form token from any public iCagenda page and POSTed directly to the processing endpoint, bypassing the "Registered users only" setting entirely with no account. On Joomla 6 the uploaded .php file is web-served and executes, giving unauthenticated remote code execution; on Joomla 2.5 through 5, core upload filtering blocks the shell, but the same authorization bypass still lets an anonymous visitor create unapproved events (mySites.guru, 2026-06-15). CISA's dated alert confirms this as one of exactly two KEV additions on 2026-07-10 (CISA, 2026-07-10).

This is the fourth Joomla third-party extension in roughly a month to ship the same unauthenticated-upload-to-RCE shape surfaced by the same researcher, after the SP Page Builder, Page Builder CK and Balbooa Forms cluster, a recurring third-party-extension exposure for the Joomla estates common across Swiss and European municipal and public-sector web infrastructure.
