Two vulnerabilities have been reported in phpBB, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.

1) A vulnerability is caused due to insufficient access restrictions in the memberlist functionality. This can be exploited to search the memberlist by e-mail address and thereby connecting accounts with addresses.
