Description A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the Itemid parameter to "index.php". This could potentially lead to unauthorized actions on the affected system.

Recommendations For all affected versions, consider restricting access to the Itemid parameter in the "index.php" endpoint until a patch is available.
