Description

Database Query Component for Joomla! contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to the 'classes/DBQ/admin/common.class.php' script not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'mosConfig_absolute_path' parameter. This may allow an attacker to include a file from an arbitrary remote host that contains commands which will be executed by the vulnerable script with the same privileges as the web server.
