Summary

Directory traversal vulnerability in inc/functions.inc.php in CuteNews 1.4.1 and possibly other versions, when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to include arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) sequence and trailing NULL (%00) byte in the archive parameter in an HTTP POST or COOKIE request, which bypasses a sanity check that is only applied to a GET request.

Exploit prediction

1.62% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 76% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
