Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Helpdesk Pro Plugin up to 1.3.x on Joomla (Joomla Component). It has been classified as problematic. This affects an unknown functionality of the file ticket.download_attachment. The manipulation of the argument filename with the input value .. leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:
