Joomla! and Mambo DBQuery Component 'mosConfig_absolute_path' Remote File Include Vulnerability

The DBQuery component for Joomla! and Mambo is prone to a remote file-include vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input.

Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to compromise the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.

DBQuery 1.4.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
