Description

Fully Modded phpBB has been reported to contain a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is supposedly due to multiple scripts in the /flash/ and /admin/ directory not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'foing_root_path' variable. However, subsquent analysis by CVE indicates that these scripts set the value before being used so that an attacker could not manipulate the content.
