Discussion
Retired: givesight PowerMail Pro Component for Joomla! Local File Include Vulnerability
The PowerMail Pro component for Joomla! is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to obtain potentially sensitive information and execute arbitrary local scripts in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the computer; other attacks are also possible.
PowerMail Pro 1.5.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
Reports indicate this issue does not exist; therefore, this BID is being retied.
