http://secunia.com/advisories/39071/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the SMEStorage component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.

Input passed to the "controller" parameter in index.php (if "option"
is set to "com_smestorage") 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 versions prior to 1.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.1.
