Description
This module exploits an unauthenticated arbitrary profile creation vulnerability in the JCE (Joomla Content Editor) extension for Joomla! (CVE-2026-48907). The profiles.import task fails to enforce authentication, allowing the import of a crafted profile that is directly written to disk as a PHP web shell. This results in remote code execution, provided that the tmp/ directory is not explicitly restricted.
JCE versions up to and including 2.9.99.4 are affected.
