DESCRIPTION:
Liz0ziM has discovered a security issue in ADP Forum, which can be
exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information.

The problem is that user credentials are stored insecurely in the
"users" directory inside the web root. This can be exploited to
disclose usernames and encrypted passwords.

The security issue has been confirmed in version 2.0.3 and has also
been reported in version 2.0 through 2.0.2. Other versions may also
be affected.

SOLUTION:
Move the "users" directory out of the web root.
