According to its self-reported version number, the Joomla! installation running on the remote web server is 3.x prior to 3.4.2.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  • A cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability exists due to a failure to require explicit confirmation or a unique token when performing certain sensitive actions.
    An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to follow a specially crafted link, to upload arbitrary code. (CVE-2015-5397)

  • An open redirect vulnerability exists due to a failure to validate certain script parameters. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to follow a specially crafted link, to redirect the user to an arbitrary website.
    (CVE-2015-5608)

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