Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the private message box implementation (privmsg.php) in phpBB 2.0.x allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the "Message body" field in a message to a non-existent user.

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in groupcp.php in phpBB 2.0.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the phpbb_root_path parameter. NOTE: CVE and the vendor dispute this vulnerability because $phpbb_root_path is defined before use

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in admin/admin_topic_action_logging.php in Admin Topic Action Logging Mod 0.95 and earlier, as used in phpBB 2.0 up to 2.0.21, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the phpbb_root_path parameter.

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in template.php in phpBB 2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the page parameter. NOTE: followup posts have disputed this issue, stating that template.php does not appear in phpBB and does not use a $page variable. It is possible that this is a site-specific vulnerability, or an issue in a mod

The gen_rand_string function in phpBB 2.0.19 uses insufficiently random data (small value space) to create the activation key ("validation ID") that is sent by e-mail when establishing a password, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain the key and modify passwords for existing accounts or create new accounts.

phpBB 2.0.19 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) by (1) registering many users through profile.php or (2) using search.php to search in a certain way that confuses the database.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in phpBB 2.0.19, when Link to off-site Avatar or bbcode (IMG) are enabled, allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized actions as a logged in user via a link or IMG tag in a user profile, as demonstrated using links to (1) admin/admin_users.php and (2) modcp.php.

A "missing request validation" error in phpBB 2 before 2.0.18 allows remote attackers to edit private messages of other users, probably by modifying certain parameters or other inputs.

SQL injection vulnerability in phpBB 2 before 2.0.18 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the topic type.

usercp_register.php in phpBB 2.0.17 allows remote attackers to modify regular expressions and execute PHP code via the signature_bbcode_uid parameter, as demonstrated by injecting an "e" modifier into a preg_replace statement.

SQL injection vulnerability in usercp_register.php in phpBB 2.0.17 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the signature_bbcode_uid parameter, which is not properly initialized.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpBB 2.0.17 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) error_msg parameter to usercp_register.php, (2) forward_page parameter to login.php, and (3) list_cat parameter to search.php, which are not initialized as variables.

phpBB 2.0.17 and earlier, when the register_long_arrays directive is disabled, allows remote attackers to modify global variables and bypass security mechanisms because PHP does not define the associated HTTP_* variables.

phpBB 2.0.17 and earlier, when register_globals is enabled and the session_start function has not been called to handle a session, allows remote attackers to bypass security checks by setting the $_SESSION and $HTTP_SESSION_VARS variables to strings instead of arrays, which causes an array_merge function call to fail.

phpBB 2.0.17 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that deregister global variables by setting both a GET/POST/COOKIE (GPC) variable and a GLOBALS[] variable with the same name, which causes phpBB to unset the GLOBALS[] variable but not the GPC variable.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpBB 2.0.14 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) u parameter to profile.php, (2) highlight parameter to viewtopic.php, or (3) forumname or forumdesc parameters to admin_forums.php.

The bbencode_second_pass and make_clickable functions in bbcode.php for phpBB before 2.0.15, as used in viewtopic.php, privmsg.php, and other scripts, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary script via a BBcode tag with a (1) javascript:, (2) applet:, (3) about:, (4) activex:, (5) chrome:, or (6) script: URI scheme, as demonstrated using the URL tag.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Photo Album 2.0.53 module for phpBB allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the bsid parameter to (1) album_cat.php or (2) album_comment.php.

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in album_search.php in Photo Album 2.0.53 for phpBB allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) mode or (2) search parameters.

Meilad File upload script (up.php) mod for phpBB 2.0.x does not properly limit the types of files that can be uploaded, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands by uploading PHP files, then directly requesting them from the uploads directory.

phpBB 2.0.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to oracle.php, which reveals the path in a PHP error message.

sessions.php in phpBB 2.0.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to gain administrator privileges via the autologinid value in a cookie.

viewtopic.php in phpBB 2.0.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a highlight parameter containing invalid regular expression syntax, which reveals the path in a PHP error message.

phpBB 2.0.11, and possibly other versions, with remote avatars and avatar uploading enabled, allows local users to read arbitrary files by providing both a local and remote location for an avatar, then modifying the "Upload Avatar from a URL:" field to reference the target file.

Directory traversal vulnerability in (1) usercp_register.php and (2) usercp_avatar.php for phpBB 2.0.11, and possibly other versions, with gallery avatars enabled, allows remote attackers to delete (unlink) arbitrary files via "/../" sequences in the avatarselect parameter.
