Joomla! 1.5.0 < 3.8.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 106631

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 3.8.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple XSS and SQLi vulnerabilities :

- The XSS vulnerability in module chromes as noted in the 20180101 announcement affects 3.0.0 through 3.8.3.
(CVE-2018-6380)

- The XSS vulnerability in com_fields as noted in the 20180102 announcement affects 3.7.0 through 3.8.3.
(CVE-2018-6377)

- The XSS vulnerability in Uri class as noted in the 20180103 announcement affects 1.5.0 through 3.8.3.
(CVE-2018-6379)

- The SQLi vulnerability in Hathor postinstall message as noted in the 20180103 announcement affects 1.5.0 through 3.8.3. (CVE-2018-6379)

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 3.8.4 or later.
