Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Description
The version of Joomla! running on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in com_content/content.php due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'order' parameter before using it to generate dynamic HTML content. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into the user's browser session.Note that this version of Joomla! may be affected by a session fixation vulnerability in the administrator application as well as several other cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities; however, Nessus has not checked for these.
Solution
Upgrade to Joomla! version 1.0.13 or later.See Also
