Joomla : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score between 5 and 5.99

Joomla! 1.03 does not restrict the number of "Search" Mambots, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a large number of Search Mambots.

The vCard functions in Joomla! 1.0.5 use predictable sequential IDs for vcards and do not restrict access to them, which allows remote attackers to obtain valid e-mail addresses to conduct spam attacks by modifying the contact_id parameter to index2.php.

feedcreator.class.php (aka the syndication component) in Joomla! 1.0.7 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a "/" (slash) in the feed parameter to index.php, which reveals the path in an error message.

Unspecified vulnerability in mod_templatechooser in Joomla! 1.0.7 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an unspecified attack vector that reveals the path.

Joomla! 1.0.7 and earlier allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and gain certain privileges via certain attack vectors related to the (1) Weblink, (2) Polls, (3) Newsfeeds, (4) Weblinks, (5) Content, (6) Content Section, (7) Content Category, (8) Contact items, or (9) Contact Search, (10) Content Search, (11) Newsfeed Search, or (12) Weblink Search.

The com_rss option (rss.php) in (1) Mambo and (2) Joomla! allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an invalid feed parameter, which reveals the path in an error message.

The com_rss option (rss.php) in (1) Mambo and (2) Joomla! allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption and possibly web-server outage) via multiple requests with different values of the feed parameter.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Joomla! before 1.0.10 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified parameters involving the (1) getUserStateFromRequest function, and the (2) SEF and (3) com_messages modules.

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in install.jim.php in the JIM 1.0.1 component for Joomla or Mambo allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the mosConfig_absolute_path parameter.

Joomla! before 1.0.11 does not properly unset variables when the input data includes a numeric parameter with a value matching an alphanumeric parameter's hash value, which allows remote attackers to have an unspecified impact. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a bug in the unset PHP command (CVE-2006-3017) and the proper fix should be in PHP; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in Joomla!.

Unspecified vulnerability in com_content in Joomla! before 1.0.11, when $mosConfig_hideEmail is set, allows attackers to perform the emailform and emailsend tasks.

Joomla! 1.5.0 Beta allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request for (1) plugins/user/example.php; (2) gmail.php, (3) example.php, or (4) ldap.php in plugins/authentication/; (5) modules/mod_mainmenu/menu.php; or other unspecified PHP scripts, which reveals the path in various error messages, related to a jimport function call at the beginning of each script.

Joomla! 1.0.12 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request for (1) Stat.php (2) OutputFilter.php, (3) OutputCache.php, (4) Modifier.php, (5) Reader.php, and (6) TemplateCache.php in includes/patTemplate/patTemplate/; (7) includes/Cache/Lite/Output.php; and other unspecified components, which reveal the path in various error messages.

Directory traversal vulnerability in index.php in the RSfiles component (com_rsfiles) 1.0.2 and earlier for Joomla! allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the path parameter in a files.display action.

The file caching implementation in Joomla! before 1.5.4 allows attackers to access cached pages via unknown attack vectors.

The mailto (aka com_mailto) component in Joomla! 1.5 before 1.5.7 sends e-mail messages without validating the URL, which allows remote attackers to transmit spam.

Multiple open redirect vulnerabilities in Joomla! 1.5 before 1.5.7 allow remote attackers to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks via a "passed in" URL.

Directory traversal vulnerability in attachmentlibrary.php in the XStandard component for Joomla! 1.5.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to list arbitrary directories via a .. (dot dot) in the X_CMS_LIBRARY_PATH HTTP header.

Unspecified vulnerability in the Front-End Editor in the com_content component in Joomla! before 1.5.15 allows remote authenticated users, with Author privileges, to replace the articles of an arbitrary user via unknown vectors.

Joomla! before 1.5.15 allows remote attackers to read an extension's XML file, and thereby obtain the extension's version number, via a direct request.

Joomla! before 1.5.23 does not properly check for errors, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.

templates/system/error.php in Joomla! before 1.5.23 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors that trigger an undefined value of a certain error field, leading to disclosure of the installation path. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2011-2488.

The MediaViewMedia class in administrator/components/com_media/views/media/view.html.php in Joomla! 1.5.23 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via vectors involving the base variable, leading to disclosure of the installation path, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2488.

Joomla! 1.6.x before 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via an empty Itemid array parameter to index.php, which reveals the installation path in an error message, a different vulnerability than CVE-2011-2488.

Multiple Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in Joomla! through 1.7.0 in index.php in the search word, extension, asset, and author parameters.
