DESCRIPTION:
Alfredo Arauz has discovered a vulnerability in the Simple Page
Options module for Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious
people to disclose sensitive information.
Input passed via the "spo_site_lang" parameter to
modules/mod_spo/email_sender.php is not properly verified before
being used to include files. This can be exploited to include
arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks
and URL-encoded NULL bytes.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.5.16. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.

DESCRIPTION:
Aung Khant has discovered a vulnerability in Joomla!, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
Input passed via the "searchword" POST parameter to index.php (when
"option" is set to "com_search" and "task" is set to "search") is not
properly sanitised in the "redirect()" function in
libraries/joomla/application/application.php before being returned to
the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.
This may be related to vulnerability #8 in:
SA45094
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.7.0. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
