Title: D-Forum Remote File Include Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

D-Forum is a freely available discussion forum written in PHP.

D-Forum is prone to an issue which may allow remote attackers to include files located on remote servers. This issue is present in the header.php3 and footer.php3 pages existing in the /includes folder.

Under some circumstances, it is possible for remote attackers to influence the include path for these scripts to point to an external file on a remote server by manipulating the '$my_header' and '$my_footer' URI parameters.

If the remote file is a malicious file, this may be exploited to execute arbitrary system commands in the context of the webserver.

Affected Products:

  • Adalis Informatique D-Forum 1.0.0
  • Adalis Informatique D-Forum 1.10.0
  • Adalis Informatique D-Forum 1.11.0
