Description

Multiple Pearlinger.com products contain a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The issue is due to the includes/functions_cms.php script not properly sanitizing user input supplied to the 'phpbb_root_path' variable. This may allow an attacker to include a file from a remote host that contains arbitrary commands which will be executed by the vulnerable script.
