Title: newsPHP Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
newsPHP is a web-based content management system. It is implemented in PHP and is available for a variety of platforms including Microsoft Windows and Linux variant operating systems.
It has been reported that newsPHP contains an authentication bypass vulnerability allowing an unauthenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive data or perform unauthorized actions. The issue occurs due to the failure of newPHP to check authentication credentials of a remote user. An attacker may send a request to perform an action via a specially crafted URI containing illegitimate authentication credentials in order to gain access to sensitive data.
The issue is reported to exist in newPHP v216, however other versions may be affected as well.
