K2 ≤ 2.24 contains a mass-assignment defect in the K2 system user plugin plguserk2. A Registered Joomla user, by including the field K2UserForm=1 in a standard comusers profile.save POST, can write arbitrary values into the notes, image, and plugins columns of their own row in the #k2users table — none of which are exposed by the K2 frontend profile-edit form.
Joomla! Component Easy Shop 1.2.3 contains a local file inclusion vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by supplying base64-encoded file paths. Attackers can send GET requests to index.php with the option parameter set to comeasyshop, task set to ajax.loadImage, and a base64-encoded file path in the file parameter to retrieve sensitive files like configuration.php and system files.
