Joomla 3rd Party Extensions Security Vulnerabilities

A vulnerable extension is one that has been found to contain, or contribute to, a security vulnerability.

Vulnerable extensions are not necessarily poorly-coded extensions. As the Web evolves, technical requirements and commonly accepted coding practices also change. Active projects release new versions of their extensions as requirements change. For this reason, it is important to:

1. Know the version numbers of all installed extensions.
2. Use only the latest stable version of all extensions.
3. Completely remove all files of insecure or unused extensions.
