Loading vulnerability…
Joomanager component versions up to 2.0.0 for Joomla! are vulnerable to an arbitrary file download vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted request to index.php with the option com_joomanager, controller details, task download, and specifying the path to sensitive files such as configuration.php. This allows the attacker to download arbitrary files from the server, including those containing sensitive information like database credentials.

The exploit is not part of a framework and is a standalone Python script. The main attack vector is network-based, targeting web servers running the vulnerable Joomla component. The repository is structured with the main exploit script, a list of targets, a README, a license, and a .gitignore. No fake or detection-only scripts are present.
