DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in warforge.NEWS, which can
be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks,
and by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks and SQL
injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "title" and "newspost" parameters in
newsadd.php, and to the "name", "title", and "comment" parameters in
news.php is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site when malicious data is
viewed.

2) Input passed to the "usern" parameter via the "authusername"
cookie parameter in authcheck.php is not properly sanitised before
being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL
queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is
disabled.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.0. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
