File Type Restriction Bypass
csNews is a script for managing news items on a website. It is possible for a malicious admin user to bypass file type restrictions on the header and footer file. This may result in arbitrary system files being displayed to remote users, and the disclosure of sensitive information. The ability to exploit this vulnerability may only require 'public' access to csNews if used in conjunction with issues discussed in BID 4993.
Mitigation:
Restrict access to the csNews admin interface.
