Joomla! Highlighter Plugin CVE-2013-3267 Unspecified Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Joomla! is prone to an unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
