TF Content (com_tfcontent) 2.9.0 to 2.9.4 - Unauthenticated Forced Execution of Automation Tasks and Record Tampering (Missing Authorisation)

TF Content by Joomla Fry, versions 2.9.0 to 2.9.4, contains two unauthenticated missing-authorisation flaws, both fixed in 2.9.5. 1) CVE-2026-102779 (CWE-862, CVSS 4.0 6.9 Medium): the site task records.custom_action is exposed without authentication, ACL, CSRF, task-trigger, content-binding or cron-token checks, so an unauthenticated visitor can supply the numeric ID of any published TF Content task and force the component to run its configured executor immediately. 2) CVE-2026-102780 (CVSS 4.0 6.9 Medium): the public RecordController unconditionally authorises both creating and editing records, and the shared front-end save controller saves the raw jform array against a request-selected record ID without filtering it through the configured form. A guest can take a valid token from Joomla's public login form and modify any TF Content record, including mass-assigning its published state, access level and author (created_by). Update to TF Content 2.9.5 or later. Temporary mitigation: unpublish any TF Content automation tasks whose executors should not be triggered on demand, and disable the TF Content front-end record forms until you can update.
