Description:
Dr Max Virus has discovered a vulnerability in the mx_newssuite module for MxBB Portal, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise vulnerable systems.
Input passed to the "mx_root_path" parameter in includes/newssuite_constants.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or external resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.03. Other versions may also be affected.
