Directory traversal vulnerability in the Jimtawl (com_jimtawl) component 1.0.2 Joomla! allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files and possibly have unspecified other impact via a .. (dot dot) in the task 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.
