Discussion
RETIRED: Startpage Multiple Remote File Include Vulnerabilities
Startpage is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker can exploit these issues 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.
Version 1.0 is reported vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
Update: After further analysis, this BID is being retired. The 'cfgLanguage' variable is defined in the 'config.php' file prior to its use in the affected scripts.
