Joomla Component com_dashboard
A directory traversal vulnerability exists in Joomla Component com_dashboard, which allows an attacker to read arbitrary files on the server. This vulnerability is due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'controller' parameter in the 'index.php' script. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing directory traversal characters (e.g., '../') to the vulnerable script. This may allow the attacker to read arbitrary files on the server.
Mitigation:
Ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized before being used in file operations.
