Joomla! "mosConfig_absolute_path" File Inclusion

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29106

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29106/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Joomla! 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/5788/

DESCRIPTION:
Hendrik-Jan Verheij has discovered a vulnerability in Joomla!, which
can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable
system.

Input passed to the "mosConfig_absolute_path" parameter in index.php
is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from external resources.

Successful exploitation requires that RG_EMULATION is either switched
on or undefined.

NOTE: Both situations cause security warnings to be displayed in
Joomla!'s administration section.

The vulnerability is confirmed in Joomla! 1.0.x in versions 1.0.14
and 1.0.13. Prior versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Joomla! 1.0.x:
Update to version 1.0.15.

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
astatsPRO 1.x (component for Joomla)
http://secunia.com/product/17747/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the astatsPRO component for
Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

Input passed to the "id" parameter in
administrator/components/com_astatspro/includes/count_dl_or_link.inc.php
through administrator/components/com_astatspro/refer.php or
administrator/components/com_astatspro/getfile.php is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

before being returned to the user. This can further be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.0.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
