version : 1.3.0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vulnerability:

in folder components we found vulnerability script com_guestbook.php.
-----------------------com_guestbook.php----------------------
<?php
include($absolute_path.'/language/'.$lang.'/lang_com_guestbook.php');
require ("".$sGuestbookTemplate_."/com_guestbook.php");
$guestbook = new guestbook();

Variables $absolute_path are not properly sanitized. When register_globals=on
and allow_fopenurl=on an attacker can exploit this vulnerability with a
simple php injection script.
Proof Of Concept:

Solution:
~~~~~~~~
Sanitize variabel $absolute_path in com_guestbook.php
