DescriptionCVE.org

Joomla Extension - regularlabs.com - Privileged stored XSS via rtla-alias option in Tabs & Accordions extension for Joomla < 3.1.0 - Tabs & Accordions rewrites links matching an item alias into calls to its browser API. The affected renderer places the alias inside a quoted JavaScript argument in an HTML onclick attribute without securing both the JavaScript-string and HTML-attribute contexts. A crafted data-rlta-alias value can therefore change the generated handler.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in regularlabs.com's Tabs & Accordions (Free and Pro) extension for Joomla, versions prior to 3.1.0, allows a privileged authenticated attacker to inject and permanently persist arbitrary JavaScript into page output by supplying a crafted value in the rtla-alias configuration field. The extension's link-rewriting renderer embeds the alias directly into an HTML onclick attribute as a JavaScript string argument, applying neither JavaScript-string escaping nor HTML-attribute encoding, so a crafted alias breaks both quoting contexts and executes in every subsequent visitor's browser. …
