Phpbb · Phpbb Advanced Guestbook · CVE-2006-2152
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
phpBB Advanced Guestbook versions 2.4.0 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to include arbitrary files via the `phpbb root path` parameter in the "admin/addentry.php" endpoint, when register globals is enabled.
**Recommendations**
For versions 2.4.0 and earlier, disable the register globals setting to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "admin/addentry.php" endpoint until a patch is available. Avoid using the `phpbb root path` parameter in the affected endpoint until the issue is resolved.
