VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/25804/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Joomla! 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/5788/

DESCRIPTION:
Cindy Chee has discovered a vulnerability in Joomla!, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the “Title” and “Section Name” form fields when creating
new sections in Section Manager is not properly sanitised before being
stored. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code,
which is executed in a user’s browser session in context of an affected
site when the data is viewed.

Successful exploitation requires that the target user has valid
administrator credentials.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.12. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites when logged in as administrator.
