"According to its self-reported version number, the Joomla!
installation running on the remote web server is 1.5.0 or later but
prior to 3.8.0. It is, therefore, affected by the following
vulnerabilities :

  - A flaw exists related to SQL query handling that allows
    disclosure of article introduction text when such articles
    are in the archived state. Note that only versions
    3.7.0 through 3.7.5 are affected by this flaw.
    (CVE-2017-14595)

  - An input-validation flaw exists in the LDAP
    authentication plugin that allows disclosure of usernames
    and passwords. Note that Joomla! must be configured for
    LDAP authentication to be affected. (CVE-2017-14596)

Note that Nessus has not attempted to exploit these issues but has
instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");
