Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Open Bulletin Board, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the "UID" parameter in member.php is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
2) Input passed to the "root_path" parameter in index.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external resources.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.0.8. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and verified.
