Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ADbNewsSender versions prior to 1.5.6

Description A directory traversal issue exists, allowing remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files. This is achieved by using a .. (dot dot) in the path to lang parameter of the /mailinglist/admin/change config.php endpoint.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.5.6, update to version 1.5.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the /mailinglist/admin/change config.php endpoint to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the path to lang parameter in this endpoint until the issue is resolved.
