RFI Bug in PhpBBPlus
The RFI bug is present in the lang_main_album.php file of PhpBBPlus version 1.53. It can be exploited by appending a malicious URL as the value for the 'phpbb_root_path' parameter. This can allow an attacker to include remote files and potentially execute arbitrary code.
Mitigation:
The vendor should release a patch to fix the RFI vulnerability. In the meantime, users are advised to update to the latest version of PhpBBPlus and apply any available security patches. It is also recommended to implement proper input validation and sanitization to prevent remote file inclusion attacks.
