Description |
phpBB contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to bypass the globals deregistration code. The issue is triggered due to an error where global variables defined by the user are not properly unset. It is possible that the flaw may allow cross site scripting and SQL injection attacks, and/or execution of arbitrary PHP code resulting in a loss of integrity.
