Unauthenticated account takeover via trusted cookie value
Published Aug 24, 2026 · Updated Aug 25, 2026
Authentication bypass in miniOrange OAuth Client before 3.2.0 allows remote attackers to access arbitrary Joomla accounts via a cookie. The extension trusts an attacker-controlled cookie value as the account identifier without binding it to an authenticated identity. No prior account or user interaction is required, and choosing an administrator account grants its Joomla privileges.
