Cross-site scripting vulnerability in phpBB 2.0.0 (phpBB2) allows remote attackers to execute Javascript as other phpBB users by including a http:// and a double-quote (") in the [IMG] tag, which bypasses phpBB's security check, terminates the src parameter of the resulting HTML IMG tag, and injects the script.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in privmsg.php in phpBB 2.0.6 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary script or HTML via the (1) folder or (2) mode variables.

A "missing request validation" error in phpBB 2 before 2.0.18 allows remote attackers to edit private messages of other users, probably by modifying certain parameters or other inputs.

NOTE: the profile.php/Current password vector is already covered by CVE-2006-1603.

phpBB 2.0.17 and earlier, when the register_long_arrays directive is disabled, allows remote attackers to modify global variables and bypass security mechanisms because PHP does not define the associated HTTP_* variables.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in phpBB 2.0.6d and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) postdays parameter to viewtopic.php or (2) topicdays parameter to viewforum.php.

Interpretation conflict in phpBB 2.0.17, with remote avatars and avatar uploading enabled, allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an HTML file with a GIF or JPEG file extension, which causes the HTML to be executed by a victim who views the file in Internet Explorer, which renders malformed image types as HTML, enabling cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a design flaw in Internet Explorer (CVE-2005 ... Interpretation conflict in phpBB 2.0.17, with remote avatars and avatar uploading enabled, allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an HTML file with a GIF or JPEG file extension, which causes the HTML to be executed by a victim who views the file in Internet Explorer, which renders malformed image types as HTML, enabling cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a design flaw in Internet Explorer (CVE-2005-3312) and the proper fix should be in that browser; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in phpBB.
