# AcyMailing for Joomla: restricted site modules render to unauthenticated visitors

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-120471 (this .md is for agents)

AcyMailing, a Joomla extension, can render a site module regardless of the access level that module is restricted to. An unauthenticated visitor can therefore see content meant only for higher access levels.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed AcyMailing version in the Joomla extensions manager; affected range is 1.0.0 through 11.1.1.
- Look for Joomla site modules restricted to a non-public access level that are placed on pages visible to anonymous visitors.

## Timeline

## From the sources

Joomla Extension - acymailing.com - Site modules rendered outside their access level in AcyMailing 1.0.0 - 11.1.1 - An unauthenticated visitor can cause a site module to be rendered regardless of the Joomla access level that module is restricted to, which discloses content reserved for a higher view level.
