Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions SIR GNUBoard version 4.31.03

Description A directory traversal issue exists, allowing remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files by using a .. (dot dot) in the g4 path parameter. In certain environments, this could potentially be used for remote code execution via a data: URI or a UNC share pathname.

Recommendations For SIR GNUBoard version 4.31.03, consider restricting access to the g4 path parameter to prevent directory traversal attacks until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the g4 path parameter with untrusted input.
