Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Joomla! Community Polls (com communitypolls) version 1.5.2 and possibly earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files due to a directory traversal vulnerability in the Community Polls component for Core Joomla!. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) in the controller parameter to index.php.

Recommendations For version 1.5.2 and possibly earlier, consider restricting access to the index.php endpoint until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the controller parameter in the index.php endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation.
