Summary

Joomla Extension Articles Anywhere (regularlabs.com) versions < 20.0.0 contains a privileged stored XSS vulnerability via the link option. The extension accepts link options such as onclick and onmouseover, which in affected versions become real HTML event attributes without checking the article author's trust level. The plugin syntax survives Joomla's normal Author content filter because the executable HTML is generated later.

Risk Assessment

The vulnerability allows low-privileged authors to inject persistent malicious JavaScript that can be executed by other users. This may lead to session takeover or data theft.

Recommendation

Update Articles Anywhere to version 20.0.0 or later. Until then, restrict content author privileges.
