DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the YJ Contact Us component for
Joomla!, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.

set to "com_yjcontactus") is not properly verified before being used
to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files
from local resources via directory traversal attacks and URL-encoded
NULL bytes.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.1.
