    • i scanned my website with an vulnerability scanner. it gives me an high risk bug.

      'malicious users may inject JavaScript, VBScript, ActiveX, HTML or Flash into a vulnerable application to fool a user in order to gather data from them'

      proof of concept:

      _http://www.mysite.com/?fontstyle=1"+onmouseover=alert(664447827493)+

      if you do this, a popup will open and shows you the numbers from the example. (664447827493)

      what did you think ?

    • your server has a firewall that will block that. i downloaded the template 2 days ago from your server, its the latest one. everybody with no firewall have a xss problem.

    • Hi Chris, i'm not able to replicate this issue. I just installed the latest version of the Joomla 1.5 based RocketLauncher for Verstility4. Then i put this URL in the browser:
       
      _http://localhost/demo/nov08/index.php?fontstyle=1+onmouseover=alert(664447827493)+
       

      EDIT: Ok, missed a quote, I see it now. Strange. I'll take a look at it. For the record these types of XSS are generally considered LOW impact as they only run client side js.

    • Ok can you replace line 12 in rt_styleswitcher.php with this:
                $$tprop = htmlentities(JRequest::getString($tprop, null, 'get'));

      Should resolve it.
