Synopsis

The remote host has a PHP script that may allow arbitrary code execution on the remote system.

Description

The remote host is running Ultimate PHP Board (UPB).

There is a flaw in this version which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on this host, by sending a malformed user-agent which contains PHP commands. Once the user-agent has been sent, it is stored in the logs. When the administrator of this website will read the logs through admin_ip.php, the code will be executed.

Solution

Upgrade to the latest version of this CGI.
