Discussion

phpBB Viewtopic.PHP SQL Injection Vulnerability

An SQL injection vulnerability has been reported for phpBB systems that may result in the disclosure of user password hashes; other attacks may also be possible.

phpBB, in some cases, does not sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input which is used when constructing SQL queries to execute on the underlying database. As a result, it is possible to manipulate SQL queries. This may allow a remote attacker to modify query logic or potentially corrupt the database.
