CVE-2006-2060: Directory traversal vulnerability in action_admin/paysubscriptions.php in Invision Power Board (IPB) 2.1.x...

Directory traversal vulnerability in action_admin/paysubscriptions.php in Invision Power Board (IPB) 2.1.x and 2.0.x before 20060425 allows remote authenticated administrators to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files via a .. (dot dot) in the name parameter, preceded by enough backspace (%08) characters to erase the initial static portion of a filename.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Old Invision Power Board 2.0.x and 2.1.x installations could let an authenticated administrator manipulate a subscription admin parameter so the server includes and runs a local PHP file. This can turn admin-panel access into PHP execution. It is a legacy issue, not KEV-listed, and the provided sources do not show current exploitation. Exposure is most likely in legacy, internet-accessible IPB 2.0.x or 2.1.x deployments, especially where administrator accounts or admin sessions are compromised. Modern IPB/Invision Community versions are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Prioritize remediation if any legacy IPB forum remains online. The bug needs administrator access, but impact can be server-side PHP execution. For organizations without IPB 2.0.x or 2.1.x, priority is low after inventory confirmation. Mitigation focus: Identify and retire IPB 2.0.x and 2.1.x installations.; Upgrade affected IPB deployments to a vendor-fixed release after 20060425.; Restrict admin-panel access to trusted networks or VPN paths..
