Title: PHPBB album_portal.php Remote File Include Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
phpBB is an open-source web forum application that is written in PHP and supported by a number of database products. It will run on most Unix and Linux variants, as well as Microsoft Windows operating systems.
A vulnerability has been reported to exist in the software that may allow an attacker to include malicious files containing arbitrary code to be executed on a vulnerable system. The issue exists due to improper validation of user-supplied data. The problem exists in the 'phpbb_root_path' parameter of 'album_portal.php' script.
Remote attackers could potentially exploit this issue via a vulnerable variable to include a remote malicious script, which will be executed in the context of the web server hosting the vulnerable software.
