Input passed to the "controller" parameter in index.php (when "option" is set to "com_ganalytics") 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 0.6.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
