Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions BlackBoard version 1.5.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code by modifying the libpath parameter to reference a URL on a remote web server that contains more.php. This can be demonstrated using checkdb.inc.php.

Recommendations For BlackBoard version 1.5.1, avoid using the libpath parameter to reference external URLs until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the libpath parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
