Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CuteNews version 2.6

Description A directory traversal issue exists, allowing remote attackers to read arbitrary files. This can be achieved by including a .. (dot dot) in the file parameter. For example, an attacker could read the admin username and password hash in data/users.db.php.

Recommendations For CuteNews version 2.6, consider restricting access to the file.php script until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the file parameter in the affected script to minimize the risk of exploitation.
