Technical details
This is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Articles Anywhere extension's link handling. The vulnerable component accepts link options such as onclick and onmouseover without sanitization, and converts them into real HTML event attributes. The attack succeeds because the plugin syntax is processed after Joomla's standard Author content filter runs, meaning the executable HTML is generated downstream where content filtering no longer applies. An authenticated user with article authoring privileges can inject malicious JavaScript via the plugin syntax. When other users view the compromised article, the injected code executes in their browser context. The vulnerability affects versions prior to 20.0.0.
