| Detailed Description |
The phpBB installed on the Web server has a SQL injection vulnerability.
The phpBB is a open-source bulletin board software package, which uses MySQL, MS-SQL, PostgreSQL or Access/ODBC database. This SQL injection vulnerability arises due to handling insufficiently user-supplied input passed to the "viewtopic.php" script. By sending the topic_id variable containing SQL queries to the "viewtopic.php" script, a remote attacker can manipulate the underlying database. Using this vulnerability, a remote attacker can gain the MD5 password hash for users, modify query logic or corrupt the database.
