CVE-2026-78374 — Joomla Extension - joomlart.com - Open mail relay via contact AJAX endpoint in T4 Page Builder extension < 2.3.0

Joomla Extension - joomlart.com - Open mail relay via contact AJAX endpoint in T4 Page Builder extension < 2.3.0 - The front-end JSON editor endpoint exposes an action called contact that requires no authentication, no CSRF token, no captcha (when no captcha plugin is enabled) and has no rate limiting. The attacker fully controls the recipient, subject and HTML body, and the mail is sent from the site's configured sender identity (mailfrom/fromname).

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • EPSS 0.5% (30-day exploitation probability)+7
  • Technical severity (medium)+3
  • Automatable exploitation (SSVC)+3

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (Joomlart.com T4 Page Builder extension for Joomla).
  2. The attack is network-based and needs no privileges: restrict exposure (ACLs, VPN, WAF) until patched.
  3. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  4. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (info disclosure), errors and authentication anomalies.

Affected scope

Vendor, product and versions as the sources word them.
