SQL injection vulnerability in read.php3 and other scripts in Phorum 3.0.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries via the sSQL parameter.

Phorum 3.3.2a allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via an HTTP request to (1) plugin.php, (2) admin.php, or (3) del.php that modifies the PHORUM[settings_dir] variable to point to a directory that contains a PHP file with the commands.

Unspecified vulnerability in Phorum 3.4 through 3.4.2 allows remote attackers to use Phorum as a connection proxy to other sites via (1) register.php or (2) login.php.

SQL injection vulnerability in register.php for Phorum 3.4.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the hide_email parameter.

SQL injection vulnerability in userlogin.php in Phorum 3.4.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via doubly hex-encoded characters such as "%2527", which is translated to "'", as demonstrated using the phorum_uriauth parameter to list.php.

SQL injection vulnerability in register.php in Phorum before 3.4.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the hide_email parameter.

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Phorum 5.0.11 and earlier allow remote attackers to modify SQL statements via (1) the query string in read.php or (2) unknown vectors in file.php.

Phorum allows remote attackers to hijack sessions of other users by stealing and replaying the session hash in the phorum_uriauth parameter, as demonstrated using profile.php. NOTE: the affected version was reported to be 4.3.7, but this may be erroneous.

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

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 3.2.11 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the db_file parameter. NOTE: CVE disputes this vulnerability because db_file is defined before use

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in include/admin/banlist.php in Phorum before 5.1.22 allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized banlist deletions as an administrator via the delete parameter.

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Phorum before 5.1.22 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) a modified recipients parameter name in (a) pm.php; (2) the curr parameter to the (b) badwords (aka censorlist) or (c) banlist module in admin.php; or (3) the "Edit groups / Add group" field in the (d) groups module in admin.php.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the core in Phorum before 5.1.18 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in register.php in Phorum 5.1.18 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors. NOTE: the vendor disputes this vulnerability, stating that "The characters are escaped properly.

SQL injection vulnerability in Phorum before 5.2.6, when mysql_use_ft is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the non-fulltext search.

Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Phorum before 5.2.16 allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of unspecified victims via unknown vectors.

include/controlcenter/users.php in Phorum before 5.1.22 allows remote authenticated moderators to gain privileges via a modified (1) user_ids POST parameter or (2) userdata array.

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the admin login screen in Phorum before 5.2.18.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the group moderation control center page in Phorum before 5.1.19 might allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

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.

Multiple PHP remote file inclusion vulnerabilities in Phorum 5.1.14, when register_globals is enabled, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via unspecified vectors related to an uninitialized variable.
