Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability.Description
The version of Joomla! running on the remote host is distributed with a WYSIWYG editor plugin known as XStandard Lite. This plugin is affected by an information disclosure vulnerability in the attachmentlibrary.php script due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the X_CMS_LIBRARY_PATH request header before returning a listing of directories and certain types of files (txt, zip, pdf, doc, rtf, tar, ppt, xls, xml, xsl, xslt, swf, gif, jpeg, jpg, png, and bmp by default). Regardless of whether this plugin has been configured for use with the Joomla! installation, an unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability, via a specially crafted directory traversal sequence, to disclose the directory trees on the remote host, subject to the privileges of the web server user ID.Solution
Upgrade to Joomla! version 1.5.9 or laterSee Also
