HTTP: MiniBB Muliple PHP Scripts Remote File Inclusion

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known remote file inclusion vulnerability in MiniBB. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in multiple php scripts. A remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a target to open a malicious URL link. A successful attack can result in arbitrary code execution and loss of sensitive information.

Extended Description
