HTTP: Headline Portal Engine HPEInc Parameter Multiple Remote File Inclusion
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known remote file inclusion vulnerability against Headline Portal Engine. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a target to open a malicious URL link. A successful attack can result in arbitrary code execution and loss of sensitive information.
Extended Description
Multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities affect HPE because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in a PHP 'include()' function call. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary server-side script code on an affected computer with the privileges of the webserver process. These issues affect versions 1.0, 0.7.0, 0.6.5, and 0.6.1; other versions may also be vulnerable.

- Headline headline_portal_engine 0.6.1
