This can be exploited to edit modules/newbb_plus/cache/disclaimer.php, which in turn can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that the newbb_plus module has not been installed. NOTE: Other modules are reportedly also affected. 2) Input passed to the "xoopsOption[pagetype]" parameter in modules/news/index.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.6. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Install the newbb_plus module. Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified. Use another product.
