Some vulnerabilities have been reported in phpAdsNew, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose certain sensitive information, conduct SQL injection attacks, or compromise a vulnerable system.
1) A vulnerable version of
XML-RPC for PHP was used.
2) Input passed to the "clientid" parameter in lib-view-direct.inc.php isn't 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 MySQL 4.1+ or PostgreSQL.
3) Input passed to certain parameters isn't properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary local files.
Solution:
Update to version 2.0.6.
