SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38934/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Ulti RPX component for
Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.

Input passed via the "controller" parameter to index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_rpx") is not properly verified before being
used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary
files from local resources via directory traversal attacks.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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