DescriptionCVE.org

Joomla Extension - regularlabs.com - Privileged stored XSS via link option in Articles Anywhere extension for Joomla < 20.0.0 - Articles Anywhere accepts link options such as onclick and onmouseover. In affected versions, those options become real HTML event attributes without checking the article author's trust level. The plugin syntax survives Joomla's normal Author content filter because the executable HTML is generated later.

AnalysisAI

Stored XSS in regularlabs.com's Articles Anywhere Joomla extension (versions prior to 20.0.0) lets authenticated article authors inject arbitrary JavaScript via link event handler options (onclick, onmouseover) in plugin syntax tags. The injected payload bypasses Joomla's built-in Author content filter because Articles Anywhere renders the event handler attributes into live HTML after the CMS filter has already processed the content. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Three concrete prerequisites must be met: (1) the Articles Anywhere Free or Pro extension must be installed and enabled on the Joomla site; (2) the attacker must hold at minimum a Joomla Author account, granting the ability to create or edit articles; (3) a victim with a meaningful browser session - typically an Editor, Publisher, or Administrator - must load a page rendering the attacker-controlled article with Articles Anywhere active. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N - score 7.5) warrants scrutiny on two metrics. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
