CVE-2026-76598Network attack vector

Unauthenticated directory listing via unrestricted folder path

Published Aug 22, 2026 · Updated Aug 22, 2026

Path traversal in Fabrik before 4.7.2 allows remote attackers to list arbitrary server directories through an AJAX request. The elements model exposes onAjax_getFolders without authentication and accepts a caller-selected folder without limiting it to an intended directory. Network access to the Joomla site is sufficient, exposing directory names and filesystem structure but no reported ability to read file contents.
