TITLE:
Joomla redTWITTER Component "view" File Inclusion Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39342

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39342/

DESCRIPTION:
NoGe has discovered a vulnerability in the redTWITTER component for
Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
potentially sensitive information.

Input passed to the "view" parameter in index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_redtwitter") is not properly sanitised before being used
to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files
from local resources via directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded
NULL bytes.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0b11. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
NoGe
