Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Direct News version 4.10.2

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code when register globals is enabled. This can be achieved by providing a URL in the rootpath parameter to API endpoints such as "admin/menu.php" and "library/lib.menu.php", and the adminroot parameter to "admin/media/update content.php" and "library/class.backup.php".

Recommendations For Direct News version 4.10.2, consider disabling the register globals setting to prevent exploitation. Additionally, restrict access to the vulnerable API endpoints, specifically "admin/menu.php", "library/lib.menu.php", "admin/media/update content.php", and "library/class.backup.php", until a patch is available. Avoid using the rootpath and adminroot parameters in these endpoints until the issue is resolved.
