CVE-2008-5090

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Advanced Electron Forum versions prior to 1.0.7

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via PHP code embedded in bbcode in the email parameter, which is processed by the preg replace function with the eval switch.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.0.7, update to version 1.0.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the email parameter in the affected functionality until a patch is available. Avoid using the eval switch with the preg replace function for processing user-input data.
