According to its self-reported version, the instance of Joomla! running on the remote web server is 2.5.x prior to 3.9.28. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

  • Inadequate escaping in the Rules field of the JForm API leads to a XSS vulnerability. (CVE-2021-26035)

  • Missing validation of input could lead to a broken usergroups table. (CVE-2021-26036)

  • Various CMS functions did not properly termine existing user sessions when a user’s password was changed or the user was blocked. (CVE-2021-26037)

  • Install action in com_installer lack the required hardcoded ACL checks for superusers, leading to various potential attack vectors. A default system is not affected cause by default com_installer is limited to super users already. (CVE-2021-26038)

  • Inadequate escaping in the imagelist view of com_media leads to a XSS vulnerability. (CVE-2021-26039)

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