Synopsis
Joomla! 4.x < 4.4.7 Multiple VulnerabilitiesDescription
According to its self-reported version, the instance of Joomla! running on the remote web server is 3.x prior to 3.10.17, 4.x prior to 4.4.7 or 5.x prior to 5.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.- The stripImages and stripIframes methods didn't properly process inputs, leading to XSS vectors. (CVE-2024-40743)
- Improper Access Controls allows backend users to overwrite their username when disallowed. (CVE-2024-27187)
- The mail template feature lacks an escaping mechanism, causing XSS vectors in multiple extensions. (CVE-2024-27186)
- The pagination class includes arbitrary parameters in links, leading to cache poisoning attack vectors. (CVE-2024-27185)
- Inadequate validation of URLs could result into an invalid check whether an redirect URL is internal or not. (CVE-2024-27184)
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 4.4.7 or latest.See Also
