Detailed Description |
The Mambo Open Source is vulnerable to a remote file include vulnerability in the download.php script. Mambo Open Source (formerly Mambo Site Server) is an Internet portal and content management software. Mambo Module for phpBB version 1.2.4-RC3 and earlier versions could allow a remote attacker to include malicious PHP files, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input passed to the 'phpbb_root_path' parameter of the 'download.php' script. If the register_globals setting is set to 'on', a remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to execute arbitrary PHP code and operating system commands on the target system.
