Description:
Rizgar has discovered some vulnerabilities in Web News, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "config[root_ordner]" parameter in feed.php, index.php, and news.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.1. Other versions may also be affected.
