PHPMyNews 1.4 <= (cfg_include_dir) Remote File Include Vulnerability

A remote file include vulnerability exists in PHPMyNews 1.4 and earlier versions. The vulnerability is due to the application failing to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'cfg_include_dir' parameter of the 'disp_form.php3', 'disp_smileys.php3', 'little_news.php3' and 'index.php3' scripts. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary PHP code on the vulnerable system by supplying a malicious URL in the 'cfg_include_dir' parameter.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of PHPMyNews or apply the appropriate patch.
