Directory traversal vulnerability in the JE Form Creator (com_jeformcr) component for Joomla!, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences in the view parameter to index.php. NOTE: the original researcher states that the affected product is JE Tooltip, not Form Creator; however, the exploit URL suggests that Form Creator is affected.
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.
