Joomla! 1.5 and 1.6 rely on the JFilterInput class to sanitize user-supplied html. This class attempts to parse any given string for html code, checks the code against a whitelist of elements and attributes, and strips out any code that is not allowed. However, malformed html code can be used to bypass the filter and inject XSS code into user-supplied input.

After having a couple different people ask me which Joomla! security extension I recommend, and having no real answer, I figured the best way was to simply try each one against various security risks and see which vectors are detected. This test should not be considered conclusive, and is not meant to endorse or defame any particular extension.

I'm happy to announce the availability of JMyLife 1.0.16. This release brings the ability to filter by date ranges and a new Frontend Edit mode.

Moset's Tree <= 2.1.6 for Joomla! does not use anti-CSRF tokens in its admin forms.
