RELEASE DATE:
2011-11-11
DESCRIPTION:
Jose Carlos de Arriba has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the
ALFContact component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "emailto_id" and "extravalue" parameters in
index.php (when "option" is set to "com_alfcontact") is not 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.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the victim
user is running a browser which executes certain JavaScript
statements from style tags (e.g. Internet Explorer 6).

2)Input passed to the "name", "email", and "subject" parameters in
index.php (when "option" is set to "com_alfcontact") is not 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.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.9.3. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.9.4.

Joomla! JEEMA SMS Component Cross-Site Request Forgery and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Customer Area (Credentials Required)
https://ca.secunia.com/?page=viewadvisory&vuln_id=46660

RELEASE DATE:
2011-11-07
DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the JEEMA SMS
component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious users to
conduct SQL injection attacks and by malicious people to conduct
cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed via the "filter_subsearch" parameter to index.php
(when "option" is set to "com_jeemasms" and "view" is set to "book",
"group", "history", "sender", "keyword", "smstemplate", "csvsms",
"invoice", "smsschedule", or "senderrequest") is not properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Input passed via the "groupid" parameter to index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_jeemasms" and "view" and "task" is set to
"groupsubscribe") is not properly sanitised before being used in a
SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

3) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. transfer other users credits
if a logged-in user visits a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 3.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do
not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the application.

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in the HM Community
component for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious users to
conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct

site when the malicious data is being viewed.

2) Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_hmcommunity" and "view" is set to "fnd_home") is not
