DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the JE Auto component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.

Input passed via the "view" parameter to index.php (when "option" is
set to "com_jeauto") is not properly verified before being used to
include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from
local resources via directory traversal sequences and URL-encoded
NULL bytes.

The vulnerability is reported in version 1.1. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.
