Joomla Extension - jdownloads.com - Authenticated path traversal in jDownloads < 4.1.8 - A manipulated `update_file` form parameter could bypass the intended server-file selection restrictions and move files from outside the permitted selection directory or assign them to a download. This could expose file contents and remove source files from their original locations.
