Discussion

PunBB Local File Include Weakness

PunBB is prone to a local file include weakness. This issue may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary script code on an affected computer.

'pun_include' variables or commands can be embedded through injected HTML by exploiting a cross-site scripting or HTML injection vulnerability ultimately allowing the attacker to include local scripts.

This issue can allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to an affected computer in the context of the server.

PunBB 1.2.5 and prior versions are vulnerable.
