Description:
Rapigator has reported a vulnerability in Invision Power Board, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing administrative users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can e.g. be exploited to execute arbitrary SQL statements when an administrative user with "root admin" privileges views a user's malicious remote avatar image in the Admin CP.
The vulnerability is reported in version 2.1.7. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Apply Security Update for version 2.1.7.
