CVE-2023-40627MediumPublished 14 December 2023
LivingWord (com_livingword) 3.0.0 and below - Unauthenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting
The LivingWord Bible reading component by MLWebTechnologies, versions 1.0.0 through 3.0.0, reflects unsanitised request input back into the page, allowing reflected cross-site scripting. An attacker who gets a logged-in administrator to open a crafted link can run JavaScript in that administrator session, which is enough to act on their behalf in the Joomla back end. CVSS 6.1 (Medium), no authentication required by the attacker, but user interaction is. 3.0.0 is the last release and no fix has been published, so uninstall the component if it is not in use.
Affected versions: ≤ 3.0.0
