CVE-2010-2514: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the JFaq (com_jfaq) component 1.2 for Joomla!

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old cross-site scripting issue in the JFaq component 1.2 for Joomla. A remote attacker could inject script or HTML through a question submission field. Business risk depends on whether the component is still installed and public-facing. The source bundle does not provide a CVSS score, patch details, or evidence of active exploitation. Exposure is likely limited to Joomla sites that still run JFaq com_jfaq version 1.2 with the affected submission action reachable. Organizations without this component are not indicated as affected by the provided sources. Prioritize inventory first. If JFaq 1.2 is internet-facing, remediate or remove it because XSS can support account compromise, fraudulent content, or session theft. Urgency is lower where the component is absent, disabled, or not externally reachable. Mitigation focus: Inventory Joomla sites for JFaq com_jfaq version 1.2.; Check vendor or project guidance for a fixed version or official workaround.; Remove or disable JFaq if it is unused or unsupported..
