TITLE:
Joomla iF Portfolio Nexus Component "controller" File Inclusion
Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37760

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37760/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the iF Portfolio Nexus
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
disclose potentially sensitive information.

Input passed to the "controller" parameter in index.php (if "option"
is set to "com_if_nexus") is not properly verified before being used
to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files
from local resources via directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
