Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Joomla! User Status (com userstatus) component version 1.21.16

Description A directory traversal issue exists in the userstatus.php file of the User Status component for Joomla!, allowing remote attackers to read arbitrary files. This is achieved by including a .. (dot dot) in the controller parameter to the "index.php" endpoint.

Recommendations For version 1.21.16, consider restricting access to the vulnerable "userstatus.php" file 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.
