CVE-2026-56290Page Builder CK for Joomla — unauthenticated upload to RCE

The Joomlack page builder extension for Joomla before 3.6.0 (Page Builder CK) lets anyone upload a file of any type, so an attacker can put an executable script on the site and run it, taking over the web server.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Update Page Builder CK to 3.6.0 or later now; exploit code is public, so sweep the upload folders for unfamiliar scripts before reopening the site.
