Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Joomla! version 1.0.7

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by creating many files via filenames in the feed parameter to "index.php". This can lead to a stressed file cache.

Recommendations For Joomla! version 1.0.7, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "index.php" endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the feed parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
