Joomla Component News Portal Local File Inclusion Vulnerability

A local file inclusion vulnerability exists in com_news_portal version 1.5.x. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP request containing directory traversal characters (e.g. '../') to the vulnerable application. This can allow the attacker to include and execute arbitrary local files on the vulnerable system.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent directory traversal attacks. Additionally, access to sensitive files should be restricted.
