Description
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in template.php in phpBB 2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the page parameter. NOTE: followup posts have disputed this issue, stating that template.php does not appear in phpBB and does not use a $page variable. It is possible that this is a site-specific vulnerability, or an issue in a mod
