DescriptionCVE.org

Joomla Extension - joomgalleryfriends.net - Stored XSS in JoomGallery < 4.3.1 - An authenticated, privileged can store an XSS payload in any image causing JS execution in every visitor's browser.

The attacker plants the payload once and it fires automatically for all future visitors, making this a force-multiplier attack despite the high-privilege prerequisite. …
