Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its self-reported version number, the Joomla! installation running on the remote web server is 1.5.0 or later but prior to 3.8.0. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :- A flaw exists related to SQL query handling that allows disclosure of article introduction text when such articles are in the archived state. Note that only versions 3.7.0 through 3.7.5 are affected by this flaw.
(CVE-2017-14595)
- An input-validation flaw exists in the LDAP authentication plugin that allows disclosure of usernames and passwords. Note that Joomla! must be configured for LDAP authentication to be affected. (CVE-2017-14596)
Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to Joomla! version 3.8.0 or later.See Also
