Joomla! and Mambo eXtplorer Component 'dir' Parameter Directory Traversal Vulnerability

The Joomla! and Mambo eXtplorer component is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data.

Exploiting the issue may allow an attacker to access sensitive information that could aid in further attacks.

eXtplorer 2.0.0 RC2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
