Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Joomla! version 1.6.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to a .php file. This is achieved by exploiting the fact that an error message reveals the installation path when accessing certain files, such as libraries/phpmailer/language/phpmailer.lang-joomla.php.

Recommendations For Joomla! version 1.6.0, consider restricting access to sensitive .php files to prevent information disclosure until a patch is available.
