Technical details
A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the JoomShaper Helix Ultimate extension for Joomla (versions 1.0 through 2.2.6). The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to inject malicious JavaScript into the application, which is then persistently stored and served to other users. The attack requires minimal user interaction (viewing the affected page) and can lead to full compromise of the user's session or administrative actions if a privileged user views the injected content. The vulnerability is addressed in version 2.2.8.
