Foing Remote File Include Vulnerability [PHPBB]

Foing is vulnerable to a remote file include vulnerability. This vulnerability is due to the 'phpbb_root_path' variable in the 'config.php' file not being properly sanitized before being used in a file include call. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by passing a malicious URL in the 'phpbb_root_path' parameter. This can allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system.

Mitigation:

The vendor has released a patch to address this vulnerability. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of Foing.
