Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Joomla! AddressBook (com addressbook) component version 1.5.0

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

Recommendations For version 1.5.0, consider restricting access to the "index.php" endpoint until a patch is available, or avoid using the controller parameter with dot dot notation to minimize the risk of exploitation.
