CVSS v2.0

7.5

High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CuteNews versions 1.3.x

Description The issue allows remote attackers to potentially execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the cutepath parameter to API endpoints such as "show news.php" or "search.php". However, analysis has not identified scenarios where these vectors could result in remote file inclusion.

Recommendations For CuteNews version 1.3.x, consider restricting access to the cutepath parameter in the affected API endpoints "show news.php" and "search.php" to minimize the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the cutepath parameter in these endpoints until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
