CVE-2006-5526

29
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-5526 describes multiple remote file inclusion vulnerabilities in Teake Nutma Foing, specifically as modified in Fully Modded phpBB (phpbbfm) 2021.4.40 and earlier. Attackers can exploit these flaws by manipulating the 'foing_root_path' parameter across numerous PHP scripts to execute arbitrary PHP code on the affected server. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating high severity due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The EPSS score is low, suggesting a low probability of exploitation in the wild, yet its FAUCET Risk Score is high at 91/100. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-2621) exists, confirming the availability of exploit code. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, which is typical for a significant portion of older vulnerabilities.
