Title: Joomla Joomlaboard Component Multiple Remote File Include Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Joomlaboard (formerly SimpleBoard) is a component for the Joomla! CMS; it is implemented in PHP.

The Joomlaboard component is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'sbp' parameter of 'file_upload.php' and 'image_upload.php' scripts.

An attacker can exploit these issues to include an arbitrary remote file containing malicious PHP code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and to access the underlying system.

Versions 1.1.0 through 1.1.5.2 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • Joomlaboard Joomlaboard 1.1.0
  • Joomlaboard Joomlaboard 1.1.1
  • Joomlaboard Joomlaboard 1.1.2
  • Joomlaboard Joomlaboard 1.1.3
  • Joomlaboard Joomlaboard 1.1.4
  • Joomlaboard Joomlaboard 1.1.5
