Unauthorized changes in default stylesheet of shaper_educon

Asked by Alejandro Lengua 3 months ago Last activity 3 months ago

Last week we cleaned up a client’s site and updated the SP Page Builder plugin version to 6.6.2, as well as the Joomla installation to 5.4.6.

However, today we noticed a change in the default stylesheet of shaper_educon, which is currently on version 4.0.2.

Because of this, we’re wondering whether any new vulnerability has been detected recently.

Hola Alejandro,

And yes, after all the above steps, strongly consider installing a firewall component anyway. An extra security guard is always needed in those times. There are few solutions for Joomla.
