Joomla Component Local File Inclusion Vulnerability
FLEXIcontent is primarily an advanced content management system developed to replace the native article manager of Joomla! 1.5 (com_content). It adds the professional features required to build a collaborative web publishing system. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing directory traversal strings (“../”) to the vulnerable application. This will allow the attacker to include a remote file from the web server.
Mitigation:
Ensure that user input is validated and filtered before being used in file operations. Also, ensure that the web server is configured to deny access to files outside of the web root directory.
