Description

vBulletin contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code, because nested input passed to the "template" parameter in "misc.php" isn't properly verified and can be exploited. The issue is triggered when the "Add Template Name in HTML Comments" option is enabled. It is possible that the flaw may allow the injection and execution of arbitrary PHP code resulting in a loss of confidentiality and integrity.
