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 2.5.x prior to 2.5.25, 3.x prior to 3.2.5, or 3.3.x prior to 3.3.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the com_media component 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 script code within a user's browser session. Note that this issue only affects versions 3.2.x prior to 3.2.5 and 3.3.x prior to 3.3.4. (CVE-2014-6631)
- An authentication bypass vulnerability exists in the LDAP extension due to a failure to restrict NULL bytes.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted request, to bypass LDAP authentication and login as a different user without knowing the user's password. (CVE-2014-6632)
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 2.5.25 / 3.2.5 / 3.3.4 or later.See Also
