Detailed Description |
The UBB.threads software is vulnerable to a remote file include vulnerability via the 'thispath' parameter. UBB.Threads is a bulletin board system written in PHP. UBB.threads versions 6.4 through 6.5.2 are vulnerable to a remote file include vulnerability, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input passed to the 'thispath' parameter of the 'addpost_newpoll.php' script. If the register_globals is enabled, a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to execute arbitrary PHP code and operating system commands on the affected host.
