Vulnerability Overview
The Joomla! component Easy Shop version 1.2.3 suffers from an LFI vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input in the file parameter. This flaw can be exploited to include local files through encoded paths, leading to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.
Vulnerability Details
By crafting a malicious URL that targets the ajax.loadImage task with a specially encoded file parameter, an attacker can cause the application to disclose the contents of sensitive files, such as the Joomla! configuration file. This specific endpoint does not adequately filter the input for directory traversal patterns, making it susceptible to LFI attacks.
Possible Effects
- Unauthorized access to sensitive files, including configuration files containing database credentials.
- Potential escalation to more severe attacks based on exposed information.
