Description:
Mustafa Can Bjorn has discovered a vulnerability in the Nivisec Hacks List module for phpBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.
Input passed to the "phpEx" parameter in admin_hacks_list.php isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.
Example:
http://[host]/admin/admin_hacks_list.php?setmodules=1&board_config[default_lang]=english&phpEx=[file]
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.20. Other versions may also be affected.
