DescriptionCVE.org

Joomla Extension - yootheme.com - Unauthenticated stored XSS via user-controlled fields in Zoo < 4.1.66 - User supplied input in comments and user supplied field elements weren't escaped, leading to a stored XSS vector.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in Zoo Extension for Joomla (all versions before 4.1.66) allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject persistent JavaScript payloads through comment fields and user-supplied field elements. Because these inputs were not escaped before being rendered, any user or administrator who subsequently views the affected content triggers execution of the attacker's script in their browser context, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or privilege escalation to administrator level. …
