Title: MyBB 'Avatar' Parameter File Enumeration Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

MyBB (MyBulletinBoard) is a PHP-based bulletin-board application.

The application is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input to the 'Avatar' parameter when changing a user's avatar. Specifically, the application will change the avatar only if the file resides on the affected computer.

Information obtained may lead to further attacks.

This issue affects MyBB 1.4.10; other versions may be vulnerable as well.

Affected Products:

  • MyBB MyBB 1.4.10
