Joomla! < 3.9.2 Multiple Stored XSS Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 121188

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the Joomla! installation running on the remote web server is prior to 3.9.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple stored XSS vulnerabilities as a result of inadequate escaping in mod_banners and com_contacts, as well as inadequate checks in global configuration text filter and global configuration helpurl settings.

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 3.9.2 or later.
