Directory traversal vulnerability in the Roland Breedveld Album (com_album) component 1.14 for Joomla! allows remote attackers to access arbitrary directories and have unspecified other impact via a .. (dot dot) in the target parameter to index.php.
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.
