Joomla! Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Joomla! 1.x

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Joomla!, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL
injection attacks.

1) Some input passed via the "Remember Me" functionality and the
"Related Items" module isn't properly sanitised before being used in
a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Some input passed in the "getUserStateFromRequest()" function and
via the "SEF" and "com_messages" functionalities isn't properly
sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.

Some other security related issues have also been reported.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions prior to 1.0.10.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.10.
