Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Some input passed via the "Remember Me" functionality and the "Related Items" module isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Some input passed in the "getUserStateFromRequest()" function and via the "SEF" and "com_messages" functionalities isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

Some other security related issues have also been reported.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions prior to 1.0.10.
