Description:
camino has reported a vulnerability in the Remository component for Mambo, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "mosConfig_absolute_path" parameter in admin.remository.php isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 3.25. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 3.26.
