CVE-2019-14654
3.9.7 and 3.9.8, inadequate filtering allows users authorised to create custom fields to manipulate the filtering options and inject an unvalidated option.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.31%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
In Joomla! 3.9.7 and 3.9.8, inadequate filtering allows users authorised to create custom fields to manipulate the filtering options and inject an unvalidated option. In other words, the filter attribute in subform fields allows remote code execution. This is fixed in 3.9.9.
