HikaShop (com_hikashop) below 6.8.1 - Unauthenticated Download of Secure Upload Folder Files, Including Purchased Product Files

HikaShop (Starter, Essential and Business) before 6.8.1 lets a visitor download any file in the secure upload folder, including the files customers pay for, without buying it. The frontend download check only compared the requested file name with the value saved in one of the visitor's own custom fields, and did not check that the field was an upload field, so a visitor could type a file name into a text field such as a cart item engraving or an address name and then download that file. The visitor needs to know the file name; no login is needed. Fixed in 6.8.1 (5 November 2026), which refuses frontend downloads through any field that is not a file or image upload field; 6.8.0, released the same day, also fixed an undescribed security issue with downloadable files. No CVE has been published; severity is the mySites.guru CVSS 4.0 assessment (8.2, AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H). Update HikaShop to 6.8.1 or later.

Affected versions: < 6.8.1

HikaShop (com_hikashop) below 6.5.2 - Unauthenticated Open Redirect

HikaShop versions before 6.5.2 carry an open redirect in the currency switcher (CVE-2026-61901). A crafted link using a doubly encoded return address sends the visitor off to an external website once the currency is changed, and no login is needed to use it. The vendor rates it medium severity. The value of it to an attacker is that the link starts on your domain, so it lends your reputation to whatever phishing or malware page it lands on, and it will pass any filter that trusts your site. HikaShop 6.5.2, released 20 July 2026, now decodes and validates the return address before redirecting so only addresses on your own site are accepted. Update to 6.5.2 or later. There is no setting you can change to close this off, so patching is the only fix. Also covered by this rule: CVE-2023-38044 (SQL injection, 4.0.0-4.7.2), CVE-2024-40746 (stored XSS via product description, below 5.1.1), CVE-2025-22210 (authenticated SQL injection in backend category management, 3.3.0-5.1.4) and CVE-2025-25225 (administrator to Super Admin privilege escalation, 1.0.0-5.1.3). Also within this rule: CVE-2023-54364 (HikaShop 4.7.4 reflected XSS) and CVE-2015-7344 (HikaShop below 2.6.0 XSS via an injected payload[/caption]). Both sit below this ceiling and need no separate row.

Affected versions: < 6.5.2
