CVE-2010-5280

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—💥 Exploit

Directory traversal vulnerability in the Community Builder Enhanced (CBE) (com_cbe) component 1.4.8, 1.4.9, and 1.4.10 for Joomla! allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the tabname parameter in a userProfile action to index.php. NOTE: this can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code by using the file upload feature.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
