Joomla! Remote SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Joomla!, which could be exploited by malicious users to perform SQL injection or cross site scripting attacks.
The first issue is due to unspecified input validation errors when processing specially crafted parameters, which may be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser.
The second vulnerability is due to an input validation error in the "Polls" module when processing a specially crafted "Itemid" parameter, which may be exploited by remote users to conduct SQL injection attacks.
The third flaw is due to input validation errors in the "mosDBTable" class when processing specially crafted methods, which may be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks.
