The remote web server is running MiniBB, an open source forum software.

The version of MiniBB installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the ‘pathToFiles’ parameter before using it in the ‘bb_func_txt.php’ script.

Provided PHP’s ‘register_globals’ setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issue to view arbitrary files and execute arbitrary code, possibly taken from third-party hosts, on the remote host.
