phpBB File Upload Script Vulnerability Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary Checks for file upload script vulnerability in phpBB
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server contains a PHP script that allows arbitrary file
uploads.
Description :
The installed version of phpBB on the remote host includes a file
upload script intended as a way for users to upload files that they
can then link to in their posts. The script, however, does not
require authentication, makes only a limited check of upload file
types, and stores uploads in a known location. As a result, an
attacker can upload arbitrary scripts to the remote host and execute
them with the permissions of the web server user.
