CVE-2010-0801: Directory traversal vulnerability in the AutartiTarot (com_autartitarot) component 1.0.3 for Joomla!

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-0801 is an arbitrary file-read issue in the AutartiTarot Joomla component 1.0.3. A logged-in user with Public Back-end permissions could abuse a directory traversal flaw to read files the web application can access. Business impact depends on whether this obsolete component is installed and who has backend access. Exposure is likely limited to Joomla installations that still run AutartiTarot/com_autartitarot version 1.0.3 and allow untrusted or weakly controlled Public Back-end authenticated users. Internet-facing administrator paths raise concern, but authentication is required. Prioritize asset discovery and removal where this component exists. The issue can expose sensitive files, but it requires authenticated backend access and affects an old Joomla component, so urgency is highest for legacy public sites with broad backend permissions. Mitigation focus: Inventory Joomla sites for AutartiTarot/com_autartitarot 1.0.3.; Remove or disable the component if it is not required.; Restrict Public Back-end access to trusted accounts only..
