Synopsis

Joomla! 3.2.x < 3.9.13 Multiple Vulnerabilities

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the detected Joomla! application is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- A cross-site request forgery (CSRF) exists in versions 3.2.0 to 3.9.12 due to a missing token check in com_template

- A path disclosure vulnerability exists in versions 3.6.0 to 3.9.12 due to a missing access check in the phputf8 mapping files

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