Joomla! JCE Component Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability
The JCE component for Joomla! is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers upload arbitrary files because the application fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to upload arbitrary code and run it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation; other attacks are also possible.
Versions prior to JCE component 1.5.7.7 are vulnerable.
