DESCRIPTION:

Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script
insertion attacks.

Input passed to the "comments" parameter when submitting a
testimonial is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be
executed in a user's browser session in the context of an affected
site when the malicious testimonial is viewed.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.5.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a web proxy.
