RELEASE DATE:

DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Rapid Recipe
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious users to
conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed via the "introtext", "ingredients", "steps", and
"recipecomment" parameters to index.php (when "option" is set to
"com_rapidrecipe" and "page" is set to "submitrecipe") when adding a
recipe 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 context of an affected site
when the malicious data is being viewed.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.7.2. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
