Description

JRadio Component for Joomla! contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to traverse outside of a restricted path. The issue is due to the index.php script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied via the 'controller' parameter. This directory traversal attack would allow the attacker to read arbitrary files.
