Joomla Component com_jcollection
This vulnerability allows an attacker to read sensitive files on the server by exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability in the Joomla component com_jcollection. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'controller' parameter of the 'index.php' script. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request containing directory traversal sequences (e.g. '../../../../../../etc/passwd%00') and read arbitrary files from the server.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be performed to ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized.
