Title: Aborior Encore Web Forum Remote Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Aborior's Encore Web Forum is a typical web-based forum application designed for multiple user discussion, user polls, and various other forum-type features. It has a proprietary database back-end provided by Aborior.
Encore Web Forum is reported prone to an issue that may allow a remote user to execute arbitrary commands on a system implementing the forum software. This issue is due to the application's failure to properly validate user-supplied URI input.
The problem presents itself when system commands are sent to the application via the 'file' parameter of the 'display.cgi' script.
A remote attacker may exploit this condition to execute arbitrary commands in the context of the webserver that is hosting the vulnerable application.
