Fully Modded phpBB2 foing_root_path or phpbb_root_path parameter file include

phpbb-foing-file-include (29718) The risk level is classified as MediumMedium Risk

Description:

Fully Modded phpBB2 could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to multiple scripts using the foing_root_path or the phpbb_root_path parameter to specify a malicious file from a remote system, which could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server.

Note: The following scripts are reported to be vulnerable:
common.php
./faq.php
./index.php
./list.php
./login.php
./playlist.php
./song.php
./gen_m3u.php
./view_artist.php
./view_song.php
./flash/set_na.php
./flash/initialise.php
./flash/get_song.php
./includes/common.php
./admin/nav.php

./admin/list_artists.php
