affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the
    restore.php script during the extraction of backup
    archives or Joomla! update packages. An unauthenticated,
    remote attacker can exploit this, via a command message
    that extracts a crafted archive, to bypass command
    execution security restrictions and execute arbitrary
    code with the same privileges as the web server.
    (CVE-2014-7228)

  - An unspecified flaw exists due to inadequate checking
    that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause
    a denial of service condition. (CVE-2014-7229)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead
relied only on the application's self-reported version number.");
