Summary
Advanced Custom Fields for Joomla, versions 2.8.2-2.8.15 and 3.0.0-3.1.8, and Smile Pack for Joomla, versions 1.1.2-1.2.9 and 2.0.0-2.1.6, from tassos.gr, contain a stored cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79). The product does not neutralize input in a Map marker label, so a user who can edit the label, such as an article author, can store a script. The script runs for anyone who opens the marker. The attacker needs high privileges and network access.
