multiple vulnerabilities." );

"It is possible to make the remote host include php files hosted on a
third-party server using Ashnews.

An attacker may use this flaw to inject arbitrary code in the remote
host and gain a shell with the privileges of the web server.

In addition, the application reportedly fails to sanitize the 'id'
parameter before using it in dynamically-generated output, subjecting
users to cross-site scripting attacks." );
