Directory traversal vulnerability in pm.php in Phorum 5 allows remote authenticated users to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal sequences in the GLOBALS[template] parameter, as demonstrated by injecting PHP sequences into a log file, which is then included by pm.php.

SQL injection vulnerability in search.php in Phorum 5.1.14 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the page parameter. NOTE: the vendor has disputed this report, stating "If a non positive integer or non-integer is used for the page parameter for a search URL, the search query will use a negative number for the LIMIT clause. This causes the query to break, showing no results. It IS NOT however a sql injection error." While the original report is from a researcher with mixed accuracy, as of 20060703, CVE does not have any additional information regarding this issue

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in common.php in PHORUM 5.1.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the PHORUM[http_path] parameter. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor, who states "common.php is checked on the very first line of non-comment code that it is not being called directly. It has been this way in all 5.x version of Phorum." CVE analysis concurs with the vendor
