DESCRIPTION: High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered a vulnerability in the JComments component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed via the "name" parameter to administrator/index.php (when "option" is set to "com_jcomments", "task" is set to "edit", "hiddenmenu" is set to "1", and "cid" is set to a valid comment id) when editing a comment is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
DESCRIPTION: A vulnerability has been reported in the SimpleDownload component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information.
Input passed to the "controller" parameter in index.php (when "option" is set to "com_simpledownload") 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 reported in version 0.9.5. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION: Update to version 0.9.6 or later.

SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
DESCRIPTION: Valentin Hoebel has reported two vulnerabilities in the JE Job component for Joomla, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose potentially sensitive information and conduct SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed to the "view" parameter in index.php (when "option" is set to "com_jejob") 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.
2) Input passed via the "catid" parameter to index.php (when "option" is set to "com_jejob" and "view" is set to "item") is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified and sanitised.
