Phpbb · Phpbb Journals System Module · CVE-2006-5306
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
phpBB Journals System module versions 1.0.2 (RC2) and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the `phpbb root path` parameter in several PHP files, including includes/journals delete.php, includes/journals post.php, and includes/journals edit.php.
**Recommendations**
For phpBB Journals System module versions 1.0.2 (RC2) and earlier, consider disabling the `includes/journals delete.php`, `includes/journals post.php`, and `includes/journals edit.php` files until a patch is available to prevent remote attackers from executing arbitrary PHP code. Restrict access to the `phpbb root path` parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
