Title: NewSolved ABS_Path Parameter Remote File Include Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
NEWSolved is a web-based news script implemented in PHP.
NEWSolved is prone to a remote file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Specifically, it fails to properly sanitize input to the 'abs_path' parameter of the following scripts:
newsscript_lyt.php
newsticker/newsscript_get.php
inc/output/news_theme1.php
inc/output/news_theme2.php
inc/output/news_theme3.php
An attacker can exploit this issue to include arbitrary remote files containing malicious PHP code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and to gain access to the underlying system.
This issue affects version 1.9.2; earlier versions may also be vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- USolved NEWSolved Lite 1.9.2
