Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: miniBB versions 2.0.2 and earlier

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code when register globals is enabled. This can be achieved by providing a URL in the pathToFiles parameter to specific PHP files, including bb func forums.php, bb functions.php, or the RSS plugin.

Recommendations: For miniBB versions 2.0.2 and earlier, consider disabling the register globals setting to prevent exploitation. Additionally, restrict access to the bb func forums.php, bb functions.php, and RSS plugin files until a fix is available. Avoid using the pathToFiles parameter in these files until the issue is resolved.
