Input passed to the "controller" parameter in index.php (when "option" is set to "com_obsuggest") 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 and URL-encoded NULL bytes. The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.8. SOLUTION: Update to version 1.8.
