An issue was discovered in CutePHP CuteNews 2.1.2. An attacker can infiltrate the server through the avatar upload process in the profile area via the avatar_file field to index.php?mod=main&opt=personal. There is no effective control of $imgsize in /core/modules/dashboard.php. The header content of a file can be changed and the control can be bypassed for code execution. (An attacker can use the GIF header for this.)
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in CutePHP CuteNews 1.4.6, when register_globals is enabled and magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) lastusername and (2) mod parameters to index.php; and (3) the title parameter to search.php.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in CutePHP CuteNews 1.4.6 and UTF-8 CuteNews before 8b allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the result parameter to register.php; (2) the user parameter to search.php; the (3) cat_msg, (4) source_msg, (5) postponed_selected, (6) unapproved_selected, and (7) news_per_page parameters in a list action to the editnews module of index.php; and (8) the link tag in news comments.

The editnews module in CutePHP CuteNews 1.4.6 and UTF-8 CuteNews before 8b, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote authenticated users with Journalist or Editor access to bypass administrative moderation and edit previously submitted articles via a modified id parameter in a doeditnews action.
