Joomla 5.2.5 and Joomla 4.4.12 Released

Joomla 5.2.5 and Joomla 4.4.12 Released

Let's celebrate! The Joomla! Project is pleased to announce the release of Joomla 5.2.5 and Joomla 4.4.12. This is a security and bugfix release for the 5.x and 4.x series of Joomla.

These releases continue Joomla's high standards in accessible web design, highlighting Joomla's values of inclusiveness, simplicity and security into an even more powerful open-source web platform.

Security Fix


The update fixes a security issue that allows users with "edit" permissions in the Media Manager component to upload malicious files, leading to a code execution vulnerability. By default, that permission is assigned to all backend user groups and frontend users with "Editor" or higher.

It's extremely important to keep your Joomla installation, and extensions up to date to minimise the risk of your site being compromised, you should also check that you are not using vulnerable extensions by visiting Joomla! Vulnerable Extensions List.

Many site owners are totally unaware of the status of their Joomla websites, databases, and hosting environments, the potential risks of being compromised, and the implications of private personal data held. Also many site owners are paying extortionate hosting fees for below standard services running on out of date and insecure hosting environments.
