FKIE_CVE-2025-27445

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2025-06-05 14:15 - Updated: 2026-06-17 09:03
Summary
A path traversal vulnerability in RSFirewall component 2.9.7 - 3.1.5 for Joomla was discovered. This vulnerability allows authenticated users to read arbitrary files outside the Joomla root directory. The flaw is caused by insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in file path parameters, allowing attackers to exploit directory traversal sequences (e.g., ../) to access sensitive files
