High CVSS 8.2
CVE-2026-73337
NVD analysis in progress
Joomla! Core - [20260807] - MFA Authentication Bypass in Joomla 4.0.0-5.4.7 and 6.0.0-6.1.2 - Insufficient state checks lead to a vector that allows to bypass 2FA checks.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network, without authentication and with no action from the victim. It also depends on circumstances the attacker does not control.
- Impact
- An attacker can modify or destroy data.
- Weakness
- The authentication mechanism can be bypassed, letting an attacker pose as a legitimate user.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
What to doFold into the next patch cycle. Start with the instances exposed to the internet.
