The remote host is running the BlackBoard Internet Newsboard System, an open source, PHP-based internet bulletin board software application.
The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a remote file include flaw in checkdb.inc.php, due to a lack of sanitization of user-supplied data to the ‘libpath’ parameter.
Successful exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to execute malicious script code on a vulnerable server.
*** Nessus reports this vulnerability using only*** information that was gathered. Therefore,
*** this might be a false positive.
