DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the Newsletter Subscriber
plugin for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the "name" and "email" POST parameter to index.php
when viewing pages using the plugin is not properly sanitised in
newsletter_subscriber.php before being returned to the user. This can
be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.3 for Joomla! 1.5 and
confirmed in version 1.2 for Joomla! 1.6. Prior versions may also be
affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.3 for Joomla! 1.5 (released June 28th, 2011) or
version 1.2 for Joomla! 1.6 (released June 29th, 2011).
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the Calc Builder component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL
injection attacks.
Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_calcbuilder", "controller" is set to "calcbuilder", and
"format" is set to "raw") is not properly sanitised before being used
in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerability is reported in version 0.0.1. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
