NVD-CWE-OtherPublished: April 20, 2006· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
Official Description
MyBB (MyBulletinBoard) 1.1.0 does not set the constant KILL_GLOBAL variable in (1) global.php and (2) inc/init.php, which allows remote attackers to initialize arbitrary variables that are processed by an @extract command, which could then be leveraged to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) or SQL injection attacks.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2006-1912 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2006-1912. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
