CVSS v2.0
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
FlatNuke version 2.5.1
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to create an administrator account by exploiting a flaw in the
url avatar field of the index.php file. This is achieved by using carriage returns and line feeds (#10) in the field, which are then interpreted as a sensitive directive.Recommendations
For FlatNuke version 2.5.1, consider restricting access to the
index.php file until a patch is available, and avoid using the url avatar field in a way that could be exploited by attackers. As a temporary workaround, restrict the ability to create new administrator accounts to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
