CVE-2006-2557: PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in extras/poll/poll.php in Florian Amrhein NewsPortal before 0.37,...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-2557 affects legacy PHP NewsPortal software. A vulnerable poll script can be tricked into loading attacker-controlled PHP from a URL, potentially letting an attacker run code on the web server. The record names NewsPortal before 0.37 and TR Newsportal, but current product metadata is sparse. Exposure is most likely on old public PHP sites still running Florian Amrhein NewsPortal before 0.37 or TR Newsportal with the poll add-on present. Modern environments are unlikely to be affected unless they retain legacy code or archived applications online. Prioritize only if the organization has legacy PHP NewsPortal deployments. For exposed affected systems, urgency is high because the vulnerability can lead to server code execution. If no such software exists, document non-exposure and move on. Mitigation focus: Identify any NewsPortal or TR Newsportal deployments and versions.; Upgrade Florian Amrhein NewsPortal to 0.37 or later where applicable.; Remove or disable extras/poll/poll.php if it is unused..
