Description |
Phorum contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to control.php not properly sanitizing user input supplied to an unspecified variable. This may allow an attacker to include a file from the local host that may contain arbitrary commands which will be executed by the vulnerable script.
