Browser script execution via reflected parameters
Published Oct 25, 2025 · Updated Oct 25, 2025
Reflected XSS in VirtueMart 1.0.0 through 4.4.10 for Joomla allows remote attackers to execute script in a visitor's browser. Category search reflects a doubly URL-encoded keyword, while the list-orders view reflects its view parameter, without neutralizing HTML event-handler markup. No authentication is required, but a visitor must follow a crafted URL; script then runs in the site's origin and can read or alter browser-accessible data.
