Title: Potato News 'user' Cookie Parameter Local File Include Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Potato News is a PHP-based news script.
The application is prone to a local file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'user' cookie parameter that is processed by the 'admin.php' script.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability using directory-traversal strings to execute local script code in the context of the application. This may allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information that may aid in further attacks.
Potato News 1.0.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
Affected Products:
- Potato Scripts Potato News 1.0.0
