HTTP: Remote URL In HTTP Variable
This signature detects a remote URL submitted in a HTTP variable. This can be normal web-submission activity, but it can also indicate a possible remote-code injection attack. Non-malicious use is common.
Extended Description
Insert User for phpBB is prone to a remote file-include vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. Exploiting this issue may allow an attacker to compromise the application and the underlying system; other attacks are also possible. This issue affects Insert User 0.1.2 and prior versions.
Affected Products
- phpBB Group Insert User 0.1.2
