Description

A vulnerability has been reported in RiSearch, allowing malicious people to relay connections.

The problem is that the "show.pl" script doesn't restrict the "url" parameter. This can be exploited to open arbitrary HTTP and FTP connections to external and internal resources including local files.

This has been reported to affect RiSearch 1.0.01 and RiSearch Pro 3.2.06.


Solution
Remove "show.pl" until an updated version is available. This is likely to impact functionality.
