Description
Joomla Extension - svenbluege.de - Cross-site scripting and open redirect on the share mini page in Event Gallery extension < 6.6.0 - The page a shared image link opens (the share mini page of the front end) can link the article the image was shared from when the option "Share article links" is on. It took the address of the article from the shared link and printed it into the page without checking or escaping it; with the link type "Image Page with Redirect" it followed the address at once. A prepared link could therefore run a script in the page, in the session of the visitor who opened it, or send the visitor to another web site. Nothing on the server is changed or read by the server.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Event Gallery extension for Joomla, supplied by svenbluege.de, contains a flaw that allows attackers to craft a share link that embeds an unescaped article URL into the share mini page. When the link type “Image Page with Redirect” is enabled, the unvalidated URL is immediately followed by a redirect, which can cause the visitor’s browser to load arbitrary content or a malicious script. The vulnerability would not alter data on the server but would execute scripts or redirect in the victim’s session.

Affected Systems

Administrators of sites running the Event Gallery extension for Joomla from svenbluege.de should verify the version. All releases before 6.6.0 are affected. The vulnerability is confined to the front‑end share mini page, so any user who opens a crafted link is at risk.

Risk and Exploitability

The base CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity, but the vulnerability is reachable from a remote web page and can be triggered by any user interacting with a crafted link. Because the flaw does not read or modify server‑side data, the impact is limited to the client. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Nevertheless, the low effort required to generate a malicious share link and the wide reach of Joomla sites make the practical exploitation risk significant.
