Synopsis

The remote web server is running a PHP application that is vulnerable to an arbitrary code execution attack vector.

Description

Versions of MyBB (MyBulletinBoard) prior to 1.8.6 are affected by a flaw in the '__wakeup()' method that is triggered when deserializing specially crafted GMP objects. This may allow a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.
