Medium severity, CVSS 6.8. EPSS: 1.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Multiple PHP remote file inclusion vulnerabilities in the 123 Flash Chat Module for phpBB allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the phpbb_root_path parameter to (1) 123flashchat.php and (2) phpbb_login_chat.php. NOTE: CVE disputes this issue because $phpbb_root_path is explicitly set to "./" in both programs
