TITLE:
Fully Modded phpBB "k" SQL Injection Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29339

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29339/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Manipulation of data, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Fully Modded phpBB
http://secunia.com/product/12401/

DESCRIPTION:
TurkishWarriorr has discovered a vulnerability in Fully Modded phpBB,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection
attacks.

Input passed to the "k" parameter in kb.php (when "mode" is set to
"article" and "page_num" is set) is not properly sanitised before
being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL
queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation allows e.g. retrieving administrator
usernames and password hashes, but requires knowledge of the database
table prefix.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 80220. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
