Joomla JE Job Component Two Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39837

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39837/

DESCRIPTION:
Valentin Hoebel has reported two vulnerabilities in the JE Job
component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to
disclose potentially sensitive information and conduct SQL injection
attacks.

1) Input passed to the "view" parameter in index.php (when "option"
is set to "com_jejob") 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 and URL-encoded NULL
bytes.

2) Input passed via the "catid" parameter to index.php (when "option"
is set to "com_jejob" and "view" is set to "item") is not properly
sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to
manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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