MediumCVE-2026-851882026-09-13

ReReplacer (rereplacer) 16.0.0 to below 16.2.0 - Authenticated Information Disclosure via Condition Set Labels

Regular Labs ReReplacer 16.0.0 through 16.1.0 is affected by CVE-2026-85188, fixed in 16.2.0 (released 13 September 2026). Condition Set labels could be made to reference unrelated database fields, disclosing data the operator was not entitled to read. The same Condition Set code ships in Advanced Module Manager, Conditional Content, Content Templater and ReReplacer, and Regular Labs fixed all four on 13 September 2026. Exploitation requires administrator access to create or edit a Condition Set, so this is an authenticated information disclosure rather than a remote one. Update to 16.2.0 or later. The same release also adds settings restricting who may save PHP Condition Rules, and fixes Condition Set saves not respecting publication and linked-item edit permissions. The CVE record was published on 14 September 2026 with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9 (Medium), vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N.

Affected versions: ≥ 16.0.0 and < 16.2.0

Regular Labs ReReplacer (com_rereplacer) <= 15.0.3 - Path Traversal, Broken Access Control and Stored XSS

Regular Labs ReReplacer up to and including 15.0.3. ReReplacer XML include paths could read files outside the site directory (CVE-2026-65754). Administrator actions, editor popups and import/export requests lacked consistent token, item-permission and input-validation checks (CVE-2026-63684). Via the bundled Conditions component it is also affected by CVE-2026-63280 (missing tokens/permissions in Conditions administration), CVE-2026-63281 (stored XSS in administrator summaries) and CVE-2026-63683 (spoofable IP/GeoIP condition headers), plus CVE-2026-64792 (Smart Search indexing rendering restricted content as the indexing administrator) and CVE-2026-63265 (Regular Labs AJAX endpoints). Fixed in the Regular Labs security release of 22 July 2026 (16.0.0).
