HTTP: WMNews Base_Datapath Remote File Inclusion
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known remote file inclusion vulnerability in WMNews. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in base_datapath parameter. A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a target to open a malicious URL link. A successful attack can result in arbitrary code execution and loss of sensitive information.
Extended Description
WMNews is prone to a remote file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to include an arbitrary remote file containing malicious PHP code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate a compromise of the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible. WMNews 0.2a and prior versions are vulnerable.
