# Description about Software :
***************************
The 'Attachments' extension allows files to be uploaded and attached to content
articles in Joomla. Includes a plugin to display attachments and a component
for uploading and managing attachments.

# Impact :
***********
Joomla Attachments Components 3.x and other previous versions could allow a
remote attacker to upload arbitrary files upload/shell upload, caused by the improper validation
of file extensions by the multiple scripts to index.php. The issue occurs because
the application fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input.
Exploiting this issue will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within
the context of the affected application. This may facilitate unauthorized access
or privilege escalation; other attacks may also possible.
By sending a specially-crafted HTTP request, a remote attacker could exploit
this vulnerability to upload a malicious PHP script, which could allow the
attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the vulnerable system.
