Summary

CVE-2026-78064 is a high-severity Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key (CWE-639) vulnerability in J2Commerce (inferred from references). Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Databases (T1213.006); ranked at the 35th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-24 (Access Control Decisions) and AC-3 (Access Enforcement) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

Joomla Extension - j2commerce.com - Anonymous cart-record tampering via inherited FOF `save` task in J2Store 1.0.0-3.3.21, 4.0.0-4.0.21, 4.1.0-4.1.6 - `fof.xml` grants the `carts` view's tasks a wildcard `true` ACL, and FOF only enforces CSRF tokens on back-end HTML requests, not…

on front-end `format=raw` requests. `J2StoreControllerCarts` already scoped `remove()` to the caller's own session, but never overrode the generic FOF `save` task, so it remained reachable to insert new cart rows with an attacker-chosen `user_id`/`session_id`, or overwrite an existing row by id.

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)

Our mappings, made for this CVE.

Enforcing approved authorizations on every access request structurally stops a user-controlled key from reaching another user's data.

Requiring explicit access-control decisions on each request blocks unauthorized key-driven access.

Least-privilege restrictions limit the scope of data reachable even if a key check is bypassed.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0)

Our mappings, derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our CWE→CSF cross-walk — links open the control.

PR.AA-05 full match
blocks

Enforcing authorization policy and least privilege directly blocks user-controlled key tampering that bypasses access checks.

PR.IR-01 mostly match
blocks

Logical access controls prevent unauthorized data access that results from missing authorization checks on object references.

Our mappings, derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our CWE→ISO cross-walk — links open the control.

removes

A.8.3 mandates that access to information be restricted based on user identity and permissions, directly addressing the missing authorization check that defines CWE-639; when applied, it removes the vulnerability by requiring that such checks be implemented.

finds

Security testing can detect missing authorization checks but does not prevent the weakness in production.

blocks

Managing access rights includes ensuring users can only access their own records and not bypass authorization by altering identifiers.

prevents

Secure coding practices reduce the likelihood of missing authorization checks but do not guarantee their presence at runtime.
