CVE-2011-2710: Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Joomla!

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Joomla! before 1.7.0 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the URI to includes/application.php, reachable through index.php; and, when Internet Explorer or Konqueror is used, (2) allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the searchword parameter in a search action to index.php in the com_search component. NOTE: vector 2 exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2011-2509.5.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-2710 is an old Joomla! cross-site scripting issue affecting versions before 1.7.0. An attacker could make a vulnerable site reflect malicious script or HTML, potentially putting visitor sessions, trust, and site integrity at risk. The sources do not show active exploitation or a CVSS score. Exposure is most likely on legacy Joomla! sites still running versions before 1.7.0, especially public sites using the core search component. Modern or fully upgraded Joomla! deployments are not shown as affected by the provided sources. Prioritize if any internet-facing legacy Joomla! sites remain. The business risk is visitor compromise and reputational damage, but urgency depends on confirming affected versions because the vulnerability is from 2011 and no active exploitation is cited. Mitigation focus: Inventory Joomla! installations and identify any version before 1.7.0.; Upgrade affected Joomla! sites to 1.7.0 or a currently supported release.; Review the Joomla! security advisory before applying production changes..
