CVE-2007-1852
Description
Multiple PHP remote file inclusion vulnerabilities in 2BGal 3.1.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the lang_filename parameter to (1) index.php or (2) backupdb.inc.php in admin/, or other unspecified files, different vectors than CVE-2006-5505. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by CVE, since the lang_filename variable is defined before it is used
AI Insight
LLM-synthesized narrative grounded in this CVE's description and references.
2BGal 3.1.1 reports of remote file inclusion via lang_filename parameter are disputed because the variable is defined locally before use, not remotely controllable.
Vulnerability
Multiple reports claimed that 2BGal version 3.1.1 contained PHP remote file inclusion (RFI) vulnerabilities in admin/index.php and admin/backupdb.inc.php, via a URL in the lang_filename parameter. However, analysis by MITRE [1] shows that $lang_filename is defined on the line immediately before its use, using a $lang variable, and not taken from user-supplied input. The reported code path does not allow an attacker to control the file included, making the RFI claim false.
Exploitation
No viable exploitation path exists. The disputed report [1] describes require($lang_filename) but the variable is hardcoded to a path based on $lang, which is not shown to be externally controllable in the cited context.
Impact
No impact can be demonstrated. The reported vulnerability would have allowed arbitrary PHP code execution with the web server's privileges, but the code does not actually permit remote inclusion.
Mitigation
The reports are incorrect; no vulnerability exists. Users of 2BGal 3.1.1 do not need to apply any patch or workaround based on this CVE.
