CVE-2010-3712
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Joomla!
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.53%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Joomla! 1.5.x before 1.5.21 and 1.6.x before 1.6.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors involving "multiple encoded entities," as demonstrated by the query string to index.php in the com_weblinks or com_content component.
