Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Remote file inclusion (RFI) vulnerability in admin.x-shop.php in the x-shop component (com_x-shop) 1.7 and earlier for Mambo and Joomla!. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary PHP code by manipulating the mosConfig_absolute_path parameter. The issue has been disputed by third-party researchers, who state that neither the mosConfig_absolute_path parameter nor the admin.x-shop.php file exists in the reported package.

Risk Assessment

If the vulnerability is real, it could allow remote code execution on the server, leading to full system compromise. Due to the dispute by researchers, the risk may be lower but requires verification.

Recommendation

Verify whether the x-shop component in use contains the admin.x-shop.php file and the mosConfig_absolute_path parameter. If so, update the component to the latest version or disable it.
