Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its self-identified version number, the Joomla! installation hosted on the remote web server is 2.5.x prior to 2.5.10 or 3.0.x prior to 3.0.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- A security bypass vulnerability exists due to a failure to properly verify permissions before deleting private messages. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to delete arbitrary private messages.
(CVE-2013-3056)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to improper verification of permissions when viewing permission settings. An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose restricted permission settings. (CVE-2013-3057)
- An unspecified cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.
(CVE-2013-3058)
- A cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) exists in the Voting plugin due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2013-3059)
- A flaw exists in the remember.php script due to improper sanitization of input passed via a cookie parameter before being used in an unserialize() call.
An authenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to unserialize arbitrary PHP objects, resulting in a denial of service condition or a PHP object injection attack. (CVE-2013-3242)
- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Highlighter plugin due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2013-3267)
- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Flash-Based File Uploader due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
