DESCRIPTION: bd0rk has reported a vulnerability in the mx_tinies module for MxBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. Input passed to the "module_root_path" parameter in includes/common.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by including files from local or external resources. Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
