Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpBB XS, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system.

Input passed to the "phpbb_root_path" parameter in includes/functions.php and includes/bbcb_mg.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or remote resources.

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.58. Other versions may also be affected.
