paNews admin_setup.php Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
Checks for remote code execution in admin_setup.php in paNews
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server contains a PHP application that suffers from
multiple flaws.
Description :
The remote host is running a version of paNews that fails to properly
sanitize input passed to the script 'includes/admin_setup.php' and, in
addition, allows writes by the web user to the directory 'includes'
(not the default configuration). Taken together, these flaws allow a
remote attacker to run arbitrary code in the context of the user
running the web service or to read arbitrary files on the target.

Solution :
Change the permissions on the 'includes/' directory so it can not be
written to by the web user.
Threat Level:
High / CVSS Base Score : 7
