The CuteNews is vulnerable to a directory traversal vulnerability via the 'archive' parameter. CutePHP CuteNews is a freely available PHP based news management software that uses flat files to store the database. CuteNews version 1.4.1 and possibly earlier versions are vulnerable to a directory traversal vulnerability in the inc/function.php script.
