WB News "config[installdir]" Remote File Inclusion Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in WB News, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. These issues are caused by input validation errors in various scripts within the "controllers" directory (e.g. "search.php" and "archive.php") when processing the "config[installdir]" parameter, which could be exploited by remote attackers to include malicious scripts and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server.
