CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in Unclassified NewsBoard 1.5.3-d (Forum Software). Affected by this issue is some unknown processing in the library bb_lib/abbc.css.php. The manipulation of the argument ABBC[Config][smileset] with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. Impacted is integrity. CVE summarizes:

Directory traversal vulnerability in bb_lib/abbc.css.php in Unclassified NewsBoard (UNB) 1.5.3-d and possibly earlier versions, when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to include arbitrary files via .. (dot dot) sequences and a trailing null byte (%00) in the design_path parameter. NOTE: this is closely related, but a different vulnerability than the ABBC[Config][smileset] parameter.
