mainfile.php in XOOPS 2.0.13.2 and earlier, when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to overwrite variables such as $xoopsOption['nocommon'] and conduct directory traversal attacks or include PHP files via (1) xoopsConfig[language] to misc.php or (2) xoopsConfig[theme_set] to index.php, as demonstrated by injecting PHP sequences into a log file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects legacy XOOPS sites running version 2.0.13.2 or earlier when PHP register_globals is enabled. A remote attacker may be able to manipulate XOOPS configuration variables and force unsafe path or PHP file inclusion behavior. The source bundle includes public exploit references, but no KEV listing or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on internet-facing XOOPS deployments at 2.0.13.2 or earlier with register_globals enabled. The provided affected CPE data is incomplete, so inventory should rely on application version checks and PHP configuration review. Treat as high priority for any legacy XOOPS site still exposed to the internet. Public exploit material exists, and the impact can reach file inclusion, but the evidence does not show current mass exploitation. Mitigation focus: Identify and prioritize XOOPS 2.0.13.2 or earlier deployments.; Disable register_globals where it is enabled.; Check XOOPS vendor or project guidance for the appropriate fixed version..
