Joomla 5 has recently faced a known security vulnerability in its 5.2.0 release. The primary issue was related to file permissions being set incorrectly (777 permissions) due to a packaging error, which could leave some installations with excessively permissive access. This vulnerability affects only new installations created with the 5.2.0 package, not those upgraded from earlier versions. The issue has been addressed in the subsequent 5.2.1 release, which corrects these permissions and includes other security enhancements. Site owners using 5.2.0 can manually reset permissions or upgrade to 5.2.1 to resolve the issue automatically.
