• HotNews discontinued

  Since there has been found a security problem in HotNews it has been discontinued. The problem is that the include directory must not be publicly accessible on the web server, if it is remote attackers can include arbitrary PHP files. The include directory can also be protected with an appropriate .htaccess file (see "file" at the end of this text for example). I (origninal HotNews author) was not contacted prior to public release of this problem. HotNews hasn't been activly maintained for a long time, and the author doesn't have an interest in further development of it. Should anyone have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. .htaccess file to be places in the include directory to deny access to the files (inspired by file from the twig webmail script) : AuthName "FooBar" AuthType basic AuthUserFile /dev/null require valid-user
