Joomla Extension - yootheme.com - Authenticated, privileged stored XSS in YOOtheme Pro 1.0.0-5.0.41 - Lack of escaping in the location custom field lead to a XSS vector.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in YOOtheme Pro Extension for Joomla versions 1.0.0 through 5.0.41 allows authenticated, privileged users to inject persistent malicious scripts via the location custom field, which lacks HTML output escaping before rendering user-supplied content in the browser. Any site visitor who subsequently loads a page rendering the tainted field will execute the attacker-controlled script in their browser context, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions on their behalf. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated Joomla session with sufficient privileges to edit YOOtheme Pro custom fields - specifically administrator or editor role - as confirmed by the PR:H metric in the provided CVSS 4.0 vector and the CVE description's explicit 'authenticated, privileged' qualifier. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N, score 7.5) reflects a network-reachable vulnerability with low attack complexity but a high privilege prerequisite and an attack target condition (AT:P) that tempers broad exploitability. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | A threat actor who has obtained or already holds a privileged Joomla account - through credential stuffing, phishing, or insider access - navigates to the YOOtheme Pro custom field editor and injects a JavaScript payload into the location field, which is saved to the database. When any authenticated user or site visitor subsequently loads a page that renders that field, the script executes silently in their browser, exfiltrating their session cookie to an attacker-controlled endpoint and enabling full account takeover without further interaction. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade YOOtheme Pro Extension for Joomla to a version released after 5.0.41 once the vendor confirms a patched release via https://www.yootheme.com/. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: verify YOOtheme Pro deployment in Joomla environments and restrict location custom field editor permissions to essential administrators only. …
