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.
