info:
  name: vBulletin 6.x - Remote Code Execution
  author: alex700,0x_Akoko
  severity: critical
  description: |
    vBulletin 5.x through 5.7.5 and 6.x through 6.2.1 contain an eval injection vulnerability caused by insufficiently restrictive regex filtering in vB5_Template_Runtime::runMaths(), letting unauthenticated remote attackers execute arbitrary PHP code via the pagenav[pagenumber] parameter in ajax/render template route.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated remote attackers can execute arbitrary PHP code, potentially leading to full system compromise.
  remediation: |
    Update to a version later than 5.7.5 for 5.x and later than 6.2.1 for 6.x or the latest available version.
