CVE-2026-56290

Summary

A remote code execution vulnerability in the Joomla Page Builder extension, added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 7 July 2026.

Details

The digest recorded it in the 7 July KEV batch with a reported CVSS of 10.0, meaning an unauthenticated route to code execution on a CMS extension that site owners install for layout convenience and rarely review. Joomla's extension ecosystem is the recurring weak point: the core is patched promptly, while third-party builders, forms and calendars carry the exploited flaws — the same pattern as the iCagenda (CVE-2026-48939) and Balbooa Forms (CVE-2026-56291) zero-days recorded a week later. An extension inventory is the prerequisite for defending it.
