The installed version of phpBB on the remote host includes a photo album module that has multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A SQL Injection Vulnerability An attacker can pass arbitrary SQL code through the ‘mode’ parameter of the ‘album_search.php’ script to manipulate database queries.

  • Various Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities The application fails to properly sanitize user input through the ‘sid’ parameter of the ‘album_cat.php’ and ‘album_comment.php’ scripts. An attacker can exploit these flaws to cause arbitrary HTML and script code to be run in a user’s browser within the context of the affected website.
