TITLE:
phpBB Nivisec Hacks List Module Local File Inclusion

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA20359

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/20359/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Nivisec Hacks List 1.x (module for phpBB)
http://secunia.com/product/10204/

DESCRIPTION:
Mustafa Can Bjorn has discovered a vulnerability in the Nivisec Hacks
List module for phpBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to
disclose sensitive information.

Input passed to the "phpEx" parameter in admin_hacks_list.php isn't
properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be
exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Example:
http://[host]/admin/admin_hacks_list.php?setmodules=1&board_config[default_lang]=english&phpEx=[file]

Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.20. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

Set "register_globals" to "Off".
