This can be exploited to display arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks with an HTTP client that doesn't follow redirects. Successful exploitation allows retrieval of SQL connection details or the database dump file, which includes administrator passwords. 2) The database dump file can be downloaded directly from administration/dump.sql. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.2. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Restrict access to the "administration" directory.
