TITLE:
Joomla! “searchword” Cross-Site Scripting

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA27196

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/27196/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

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

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

Input passed to the “searchword” parameter in index.php (when “option”
is set to “com_search”) 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.

Successful exploitation requires that the victim changes the number of
search results in a drop-down box, after having clicked on the malicious
link.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0.13. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
