Joomla! 1.5.0 < 3.8.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 104478

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Joomla! installation running on the remote web server is 1.5.0 or later but prior to 3.8.2. It is, therefore, affected by an authentication bypass and multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities.

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Joomla! version 3.8.2 or later.
