medium Web App Scanning Plugin ID 114217

Synopsis

Joomla! 5.x < 5.0.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of Joomla! running on the remote web server is 1.5.x prior to 4.4.3 or 5.x prior to 5.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

- An insufficient session expiration in MFA management views. (CVE-2024-21722)

- An open redirect in installation application. (CVE-2024-21723)

- A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in media selection fields. (CVE-2024-21724)

- A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in mail address outputs. (CVE-2024-21725)

- An inadequate content filtering within the filter code. (CVE-2024-21726)

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update to Joomla! version 5.0.3 or latest.
