medium Nessus Plugin ID 39331
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Joomla! running on the remote host is prior to 1.5.11.It is, therefore, affected by multiple, persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the JA_Purity template. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to follow a specially crafted URL, to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into the user's cookie, making the attack persistent for the entire browser session.
Note that this version of Joomla! may be affected by additional cross-site scripting vulnerabilities; however, Nessus has not checked for these.
Solution
Upgrade to Joomla! version 1.5.11 or later.See Also
