phpBB viewtopic.php Arbitrary Code Execution

phpBB viewtopic.php Arbitrary Code Execution
Posted Oct 30, 2009
Authored by Val Smith

This Metasploit module exploits two arbitrary PHP code execution flaws in the phpBB forum system. The problem is that the 'highlight' parameter in the 'viewtopic.php' script is not verified properly and will allow an attacker to inject arbitrary code via preg_replace().
