| czarnews-multiple-scripts-file-include (19765) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
CzarNews could allow a remote attacker to include malicious PHP files. If the register_globals option and allow_url_fopen are enabled, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted dir parameter to the install\article.php, install\authorall.php, install\comment.php, install\display.php or install\displayall.php scripts to specify a malicious file from a remote system, which would allow the attacker to execute code on the vulnerable system.
Consequences:
Gain Access
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of CzarNews (1.14 or later), available from the Czaries Network Web site. See References.

- CVE-2005-0859: PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in CzarNews 1.13b allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the tpath parameter to (1) headlines.php or (2) news.php. NOTE: some sources have reported the dir parameter as being affected; however, this is likely a cut-and-paste error from the wrong section of the original vulnerability report. Also, the news.php version was later reported to be in 1.12 through 1.14.
