SimpleBBS Remote Arbitrary Command Execution Vulnerability

SimpleBBS is prone to an arbitrary command execution vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary PHP commands in the context of the Web server process. This may facilitate a compromise of the underlying system; other attacks are also possible.
