Joomla 5.0.1 and 4.4.1 Security & Bugfix Releases. Secure. Accessible. Fast. Extendable & yours.

🎉 Joomla 5.0.1, 4.4.1 and 3.10.14-elts are released and it's a safe upgrade! 🥳

The Joomla project has released versions 5.0.1, 4.4.1, and 3.10.14-elts, addressing a very-low-probability vulnerability that affects Joomla versions 1.6 to 3.10.12, 4.4.0 and 5.0.0.

This vulnerability is of very low probability, as it requires the site super-administrator to have given to the attacker editing access to the language files, to potentially expose environment variables that may contain sensitive information.

Security Update Instructions:

  • Joomla 5.0.1 and 4.4.1: Easily update through the standard built-in Joomla updater.
  • Joomla 3.10.14-elts: Consider upgrading your Joomla 3.10 site to Joomla 4.4.1 instead (see below for instructions). If not possible, consider subscribing to the official 18-months Joomla Extended Long-Term Security support program, while planing an upgrade to 4.4.1 and 5.0.1. Visit elts.joomla.org for more details.

  1. Update of TinyMCE Editor to the Latest Version
  2. Conditional Dark Mode in Editors
  3. Enhanced Information in Custom Fields for Finder Indexing
