Discussion
Appointment Booking Pro Component for Joomla! 'view' Parameter Local File Include Vulnerability
The 'com_rsappt_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 underlying computer; other attacks are also possible.
Versions prior to Appointment Booking Pro 2.0.1 RC3 are vulnerable.
