According to its self-reported version number, the Joomla! installation running on the remote web server is 3.x prior to 3.4.5.
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in com_contenthistory due to improper sanitization of input to the βlist[select]β parameter. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose or manipulate arbitrary data on the back-end database.
(CVE-2015-7297)
A SQL injection vulnerability exists in the history.php script due to improper sanitization of input to the βlist[select]β parameter. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose or manipulate arbitrary data on the back-end database. (CVE-2015-7857)
A SQL injection vulnerability exists exists due to improper sanitization of unspecified input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose or manipulate arbitrary data on the back-end database. (CVE-2015-7858)
An unspecified flaw exists in com_contenthistory that is related to unsafe permissions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-7859)
An unspecified flaw exists in com_content that is related to unsafe permissions. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted request, to disclose sensitive information. (CVE-2015-7899)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
