## Description

Multiple incomplete blacklist vulnerabilities in the Simple File Upload (mod_simplefileuploadv1.3) module before 1.3.5 for Joomla! allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with a (1) php5, (2) php6, or (3) double (e.g. .php.jpg) extension, then accessing it via a direct request to the file in images/, as exploited in the wild in January 2012.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
