Detailed Description |
The MyBB program is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks by a global variable overwrite vulnerability. MyBB (formerly MyBulletinBoard) is a freely available forum package developed in PHP and MYSQL. MyBB version 1.1 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary SQL commands, caused by improper filtering of user-supplied input passed to global variables in the global.php and inc/init.php scripts. These vulnerabilities could permit a remote attacker to pass malicious input to database queries, potentially resulting in data exposure, modification of the query logic, or even data modification or attacks against the database itself.
