Technical details

A path traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the Phoca Commander extension for Joomla versions 1.0.0 through 6.1.1. The issue stems from improper limitation of pathnames during 'save' and 'download' operations within the file manager component. An attacker with high-level administrative privileges (PR:H) can utilize specially crafted file paths to bypass directory restrictions. This allows for the unauthorized reading of sensitive files or the writing of files to arbitrary locations on the server's filesystem, provided the web server has the necessary permissions.
