Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in phpBB, allowing malicious people to conduct Cross Site Scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) User input passed to the "topicdays" and "postdays" parameters in the "viewtopic.php" and "viewforum.php" scripts isn't properly sanitised before it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

2) User input passed to the "search_results" parameter isn't properly verified in "search.php". This can be exploited to inject arbitrary SQL code if "register_globals" is set to "On".

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.0.7 and prior.
