Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Stefan Ernst Newsscript 0.5 Beta. Affected is an unknown code block of the file print.php. The manipulation of the argument ide with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22.
