Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Spyke's PHP Board. These may be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information or manipulate other user's information.
An access control error allows malicious people to gain knowledge of users' information, which is stored in separate files named after the user in the directory "user/". These files reportedly contain information like plain text password, e-mail, icq number etc.
Another access control error allows malicious people to gain knowledge of the administrator username and password. The problem is that anyone has access to the file "info.dat", which contains this sensitive information in plain text.
Reportedly, it is also possible to change any user's account without having knowledge of their password.
The vulnerabilities have been identified in version 2.1. However, prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Spyke's PHP Board is no longer supported. Use another PHP Board instead.
