Joomla 5.2.6 security release
On Tuesday, April 8, 2025, Joomla 5.2.6 was released. This is a security release that fixes a security issue in Joomla 5.x related to the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
Fixed security issue
This security update fixes two security issues in Joomla:
- [20250401] - Framework - SQL injection vulnerability in quoteNameStr method of Database package
- [20250402] - Core - MFA Authentication Bypass
The update fixes a security problem with missing checks that could lead to a way to skip the two-step verification. It also fixes an issue with the quoteNameStr database package.
This is really the last release in the Joomla 5.2 series. The release of Joomla 5.3 is planned for Tuesday, April 15, 2025. Upgrading from Joomla 5.2 to Joomla 5.3 will be a regular update.
