Remote File Inclusion in CyBoards PHP Lite 1.25 (Disputed)

IdentifiersCVE-2006-2871CWE-98

A remote file inclusion vulnerability was reported in CyBoards PHP Lite 1.25, specifically in include/common.php, where the script_path parameter could allegedly be manipulated to include arbitrary remote PHP code. However, this issue is disputed, as the $script_path variable is set to a constant value in the code, which would prevent exploitation.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

If exploitable, this vulnerability would allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code on the server, potentially leading to full system compromise. However, due to the dispute and the constant assignment of $script_path, the actual impact is likely negligible or non-existent.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Ensure that allow_url_fopen and allow_url_include are disabled in the PHP configuration. Audit the code to confirm that $script_path cannot be set via user input and that all file inclusions are from trusted sources only.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

No remediation is necessary if $script_path is indeed set to a constant value and cannot be influenced by user input. If there is any doubt, ensure that all include/require statements use only trusted, hardcoded paths and validate all user input.
