[ 1. What is this?
This is very nice CMS, You should try it! ;)

[--------------------------------------------[
[ 2. What is the type of vulnerability?
This is information disclosure bug for admin logged-in.

[--------------------------------------------[
[ 3. Where is bug :)
http://your.joomla/administrator/index.php?option=com_modules&view=positions&layout=modal&tmpl=component&function=jSelectPosition_jform_position&client_id=8%27];][][]%3E???%3E./8

Vulnerable parameter is client_id but "output" with information (disclosure bug) is available only
in HTML source (so right-click, and view source for 'invalid' string to get information where
Joomla is installed on remote server).

By the way: You can set this parameter to non-existent ID (for example 11111111111).
You should get the same response (in source, search for 'invalid').
