Toni Koivunen has reported some vulnerabilities and a weakness in phpAdsNew, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose system information, and conduct HTTP response splitting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "sessionID" cookie parameter in "logout.php" and "index.php" isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.6. Other versions may also be affected.

2) The problem is that it is possible to disclose the full path to "misc/revisions/create.php" by accessing it directly. This can further be exploited to list installed scripts by accessing "libraries/defaults/revisions.txt".

It is also possible to disclose the full path to other scripts by accessing them directly. However, this require that "display_errors" is enabled which is not a recommended setting for production systems.

The weakness has been confirmed in version 2.0.6. Other versions may also be affected.

3) Some unspecified input isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to include arbitrary HTTP headers in a response sent to the user.

Solution
Update to version 2.0.7.
