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 hosted on the remote web server is 2.5.x prior to 2.5.19.It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists due to improper sanitization of input before returning it to users. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to execute arbitrary code in a user's browser session.
(CVE-2014-7982)
- A security bypass vulnerability exists that allows a remote attacker to bypass intended restrictions and log into the system using GMail credentials. (CVE-2014-7984)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to Joomla! version 2.5.19 or later.See Also
