Description:
Matdhule has reported a vulnerability in the Community Builder component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.
Input passed to the "mosConfig_absolute_path" parameter in administrator/components/com_comprofiler/plugin.class.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 versions 1.0 RC 2 and 1.0. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.0.1.
