Inertianews Multiple Parameter Handling Remote PHP File Inclusion Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Inertianews, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary commands. These issues are due to input validation errors in various scripts (e.g. "inertianews_main.php" or "inertianews_class.php") that do not validate certain parameters (e.g. "inews_path" or "DOCUMENT_ROOT"), which could be exploited by attackers to include malicious PHP scripts and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server.
