CVE-2006-1339: Cutephp Cutenews

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Directory traversal vulnerability in inc/functions.inc.php in CuteNews 1.4.1 and possibly other versions, when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to include arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence and trailing NULL (%00) byte in the archive parameter in an HTTP POST or COOKIE request, which bypasses a sanity check that is only applied to a GET request.
