Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37897
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37897/
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Q-Personel component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "personel_sira" parameter in index.php (if
"option" is set to "com_qpersonel" and "task" is set to "sirala") is
not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.2 (RC2). Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
