Joomla Extension - regularlabs.com - Privileged stored XSS via event handler option in Modals Pro extension for Joomla < 17.0.0 - Modals Pro intentionally supports JavaScript Events such as on-open and on-closed. Affected versions do not distinguish trusted extension configuration from event code supplied in ordinary article content. A lower-privileged author can therefore use a documented executable feature which should be reserved for trusted authors.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the Modals Pro extension for Joomla (regularlabs.com) versions prior to 17.0.0 allows an authenticated Author-level user to inject executable JavaScript via documented event handler options (on-open, on-closed) embedded in article content. The extension intentionally supports JavaScript lifecycle events for modal dialogs but fails to enforce access control distinguishing which roles may supply executable code versus static configuration parameters - enabling a lower-privileged author to weaponize a trusted-user feature. …
