Synopsis

Joomla! 3.x < 3.10.20 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version, the instance of Joomla! running on the remote web server is 3.x prior to 3.10.20, 4.x prior to 4.4.10 or 5.x prior to 5.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

 - Various module chromes didn't properly process inputs, leading to XSS vectors. (CVE-2024-40747)

 - Lack of output escaping in the id attribute of menu lists. (CVE-2024-40748)

 - Improper Access Controls allows access to protected views. (CVE-2024-40749)

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 3.10.20 or latest.
