TITLE:
Joomla PowerMail Pro Component "controller" File Inclusion
Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39226
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39226/
DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the PowerMail Pro component for
Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
potentially sensitive information.
Input passed to the "controller" parameter in index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_powermail") 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 reported in version 1.53. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
