Input passed via the "config" parameter to administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/cloner.cron.php 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 versions 3.0.4 and 2.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
