FKIE_CVE-2007-5178

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2007-10-03 14:17 - Updated: 2026-06-16 22:45
Severity
Summary
contrib/mx_glance_sdesc.php in the mx_glance 2.3.3 module for mxBB places a critical security check within a comment because of a missing comment delimiter, which allows remote attackers to conduct remote file inclusion attacks and execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the mx_root_path parameter. NOTE: some sources incorrectly state that phpbb_root_path is the affected parameter.
