Title: Joomla! JContentSubscription MosConfig_Absolute_Path Multiple Remote File Include Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

JContentSubscription is a module for the Joomla! content manager; it is implemented in PHP.

The application is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input to the 'mosConfig_absolute_path' parameter of the following scripts:

/administrator/components/com_jcs/jcs.function.php
/administrator/components/com_jcs/view/add.php
/administrator/components/com_jcs/view/history.php
/administrator/components/com_jcs/view/register.php
/administrator/components/com_jcs/views/list.sub.html.php
/administrator/components/com_jcs/views/list.user.sub.html.php
/administrator/components/com_jcs/views/reports.html.php

An attacker can exploit these issues to execute malicious PHP code in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the underlying webserver; other attacks are also possible.

These issues affect JContentSubscription 1.5.8; other versions may also be vulnerable.

Affected Products:

  • Joomla Equipment JContentSubscription 1.5.8
