Discussion

VBulletin SQL Query Manipulation Vulnerability

vBulletin is commercial web forum software written in PHP and back-ended by a MySQL database. It will run on most Linux and Unix variants, as well as Microsoft operating systems.

Affected versions of vBulletin do not sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input before it is used to construct a SQL query, making it prone to SQL query injection.

This issue only occurs when vBulletin has been configured to allow guest postings.
