Description:
BackSpace has identified a vulnerability in YaBB SE, allowing malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
The problem is that the "welcome" and "recentTopics" functions in the "SSI.php" script doesn't verify the "ID_MEMBER" parameter properly. This can be exploited to to view usernames and hashed passwords by manipulating SQL queries.
YaBB SE versions 1.5.4 and 1.5.3 have been reported vulnerable. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.5.5.
