Synopsis

Joomla! 4.x < 4.4.6 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of Joomla! running on the remote web server is 3.x prior to 3.10.16, 4.x prior to 4.4.6 or 5.x prior to 5.1.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

 - Inadequate input validation leads to XSS vulnerabilities in the accessiblemedia field. (CVE-2024-21729)

 - The fancyselect list field layout does not correctly escape inputs, leading to a self-XSS vector. (CVE-2024-21730)

 - Improper handling of input could lead to an XSS vector in the StringHelper::truncate method. (CVE-2024-21731)

 - The wrapper extensions do not correctly validate inputs, leading to XSS vectors. (CVE-2024-26279)

 - The Custom Fields component not correctly filter inputs, leading to a XSS vector. (CVE-2024-26278)

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 4.4.6 or latest.
