This impacts an unknown function of the file /admin/Add%20notice/notice.php of the component Admin Add Endpoint. Such manipulation of the argument $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] leads to cross site scripting. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. This product takes the approach of rolling releases to provide continious delivery.
