Insecure Cookie Handling Vulnerability
A vulnerability in Absolute Newsletter 6.1 allows an attacker to set an arbitrary cookie value. By setting the cookie value to 'lvl=1&userid=1&usr=admin&s=TYPE A SERIES OF RANDOM NUMBERS AND CHARACTERS HERE; path=/' and navigating to /menu.aspx, an attacker can gain administrative access to the application.
Mitigation:
Ensure that cookies are properly validated and sanitized before being used.
