Description

Joomla! contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate input passed via the URL upon submission to the index.php script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
