Title: Ikonboard Cookie Input Validation Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Ikonboard is a Web Bulletin Board Service (BBS) software package written in Perl which runs on several web server platforms.
It may be possible for a remote attacker, under some circumstances, to put files on a host running Ikonboard. This may be used to send a false cookie to the host and gain BBS administrator privileges on Ikonboard. However, custom attacker-supplied data in the form of an arbitrary script may also be uploaded to the host. The attacker may potentially capitalize on this issue to gain local access to the host.
On a host running Unix, it could be possible to gain a remote shell with
nobody permissions. On a Windows host, a command prompt with system
privileges could be achieved.

- Ikonboard.com ikonboard 2.1.8
