Description:
XORON has discovered a vulnerability in the JIM component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "mosConfig_absolute_path" parameter in components/com_jim/install.jim.php is not 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 confirmed in version 1.0.1. Other versions may also be affected.
