  CuteNews Information Disclosure
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

 <http://cutephp.com/cutenews/index.php> CuteNews is "a powerful and easy
for using news management system that use flat files to store its
database". A vulnerability in the product allows remote attacker to
disclosue sensitive information about the computer and enviroment the
product is installed under.

DETAILS

Vulnerable systems:
 * CuteNews version 1.3
 * CuteNews version 1.2 and prior

Vulnerable code:
In the file index.php, a condition can be made to execute the PHP function
phpinfo(); Here is the interesting lines:

if($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['QUERY_STRING'] == "debug"){ debug(); } ... function
debug(){
   global $config_version_name, $config_version_id,
$config_http_script_dir;
   echo"<center><b>CuteNews Debug Information:</b><hr><br>";
   echo"Script Version/ID: $config_version_name / $config_version_id<br>";
   echo"\$config_http_script_dir: $config_http_script_dir<br><BR>";
   echo"<hr>";
   phpinfo();

exit();
}

Exploit:
By requesting a URL such as http://victim.com/cutenews/index.php?debug,
the content of the phpinfo() function will be returned instead of the
normal index page.
