Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-6299 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Joomla Joomla. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6299/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6299/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-6299","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6299/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-6299","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mrv3-jrq5-xxhf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Joomla CMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can inject malicious scripts into Joomla via weblinks or content modules, potentially compromising other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"joomla","vendor":"joomla"}],"cvss":{"score":3.5,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Joomla! 1.5.7 and earlier allow remote authenticated users with certain privileges to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the title and description parameters to the com_weblinks module and (2) unspecified vectors in the com_content module related to \"article submission.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6299","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"joomla:joomla","products":["joomla:joomla"],"type":"xss","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6300"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6298"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-02-26","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3225","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-18"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1047","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-03-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-01-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in Joomla!","id":"CVE-2005-3773","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-11-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1028","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-03-07"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5671","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4102","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can inject malicious scripts into Joomla via weblinks or content modules, potentially compromising other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6299/"}
