Re: phpAdsNew 2.0.7 Remote File Include
Hi,
I've been recently pointed to this vulnerability report by a friend. I'm not
subscribed to Bugtraq myself and I beg pardon for being a bit late, but the
vulnerability hasn't been reported to the vendor.
Luckily enough there's no real danger because the vulnerabilites reported are
fakes.
Moreover phpAdsNew 2.0.7 was released more than a year ago, and the project has
now a new name, Openads.
All of the disclosed vulnerabilities try to use global variables in includes
inside functions, which either have no access to the reported global variables
or aren't called if the script is directly accessed.
For reference, phpAdsNew 2.0.7:
