Credentials: Cutenews Default

Actually, CuteNews does not have universal default credentials like many other platforms.

1. Update CuteNews to the latest secure version or migrate to a maintained platform.
2. Change the admin password to a strong, unique password.
3. Remove or rename default admin accounts; create a new admin user and delete the default.
4. Inspect files for leftover sample configs and delete them.
5. Check web server logs for unauthorized logins or admin actions; assume compromise if present.
6. Rotate any credentials or API keys stored in the application.
7. Restore from a known-good backup if there are signs of compromise; otherwise rebuild and harden the installation.
8. Harden the site: apply least-privilege file permissions, disable PHP file uploads unless needed, and restrict access to admin pages (IP allowlist or HTTP auth).
