Checks for multiple vulnerabilities in CuteNews <= 1.3.6 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains several PHP scripts that are prone to multiple flaws, including possible arbitrary PHP code execution. Description : According to its version number, the remote host is running a version of CuteNews that permits a possible hacker to inject arbitrary script through the variables 'X-FORWARDED-FOR' or 'CLIENT-IP' when adding a comment. On one hand, a possible hacker can inject a client-side script to be executed by an administrator's browser when he/she chooses to edit the added comment. On the other, a possible hacker with local access could leverage this flaw to run arbitrary PHP code in the context of the web server user. Additionally, it suffers from a cross-site scripting flaw involving the 'search.php' script.
