Description:
cijfer has discovered a vulnerability in Reamday Enterprises Magic News, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.
Input passed to the "admin_password" parameter in "settings.php" isn't properly verified before being used to do a password comparison. This can be exploited to change the administrator's password by setting the "new_passwd" and "confirm_passwd" parameters to the new password.
Successful exploitation allows access to the administration section, but requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in Magic News Lite 1.2.3 and has also been reported in Magic News Plus 1.0.3 and prior. Other versions may also be affected.
