Description:
imei addmimistrator has discovered a vulnerability in MyBB, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct SQL injection attacks.

Successful exploitation requires moderator privileges.
Example:
http://[victim]/moderation.php?posts=[pid]|[code]&tid=[pid]&action=do_multimergeposts&sep=hr
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.03. Other versions may also be affected.
