The following is the Vulnerability Report from Bitdefender Antivirus System on Page Builder 6.6.2. Please review and provide the fixed version urgently.
Vulnerability Report from Bitdefender:
MDR security analysts have identified continued malicious activity associated with the ongoing incident. Please review the following update.
Impacted hosts:
vps.crm.emastpa.com.my
Affected hosted application/domain: corporate.misocue.com
New Activity:
Our investigation indicates that the attacker continues attempting to exploit the vulnerable Joomla SP Page Builder component by uploading new PHP web shells to the following location:
"/home/emascorp/public_html/media/com_sppagebuilder/assets/iconfont//fonts/.php"
This activity is consistent with repeated exploitation of the vulnerable SP Page Builder "asset.uploadCustomIcon" functionality. As the affected host remains accessible from the internet and the vulnerable extension has not yet been remediated, the attacker is able to continue submitting new upload attempts.
Please note that removing previously identified web shells alone will not prevent further compromise. As long as the vulnerable SP Page Builder extension remains exposed, new PHP web shells can continue to be uploaded by the attackers.
Actions taken by MDR:
- Identified and validated newly observed web shell upload attempts associated with the vulnerable upload endpoint.
- Removed the identified webshells under "/home/emascorp/public_html/media/com_sppagebuilder/assets/iconfont//fonts/.php"
Required actions by the customer:
- Immediately upgrade the Joomla SP Page Builder extension to a version that addresses CVE-2026-48908 (or the latest available version).
- Upgrade Joomla and all installed extensions to fully supported and patched versions.
- Restrict external access to the vulnerable upload endpoint using a Web Application Firewall (WAF), reverse proxy rules, or temporary access controls until remediation has been completed.
- If patching cannot be completed immediately, we strongly recommend temporarily taking the affected website offline or isolating the host from the internet to prevent further compromise.
- Rotate credentials for the "emascorp" account and any additional credentials that may have been exposed.
- Review all Joomla administrator accounts for unauthorized additions or modifications.
- Review and remove any unexpected cron jobs or persistence mechanisms.
- Review SSH configuration, authorized_keys, known_hosts, and shell history files for evidence of unauthorized access or lateral movement.
- Rotate SSH keys and any secrets that may have been accessible from the compromised host.
- If the integrity of the server cannot be fully validated, rebuild the system from a known-good backup after preserving forensic evidence.
