Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Joomla! component com if surfalert version 1.2

Description A directory traversal issue in the com if surfalert component allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files, and possibly have other unspecified impacts, by using a .. (dot dot) in the controller parameter to "index.php".

Recommendations For version 1.2, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "index.php" endpoint until a patch is available. Avoid using the controller parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved.
