Original advisory text
Joomla Extension - joomlafry.com - Unauthenticated cross-record publication and mass assignment in TF Content 2.9.0 - 2.9.4
Joomla Extension - joomlafry.com - Unauthenticated cross-record publication and mass assignment in TF Content 2.9.0 - 2.9.4 - The extension unconditionally authorizes both creation and editing in its public `RecordController`. Its shared frontend save controller accepts the raw `jform` array, assigns the request-selected existing record ID, and saves it without filtering submitted properties through the configured form. A Guest can obtain a valid token from Joomla's public login form and modify any TF Content row, including mass-assigning `published`, `access`, and `created_by`.
