Description

phpBB 2.0.17 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that deregister global variables by setting both a GET/POST/COOKIE (GPC) variable and a GLOBALS[] variable with the same name, which causes phpBB to unset the GLOBALS[] variable but not the GPC variable.

Affected products

• Phpbb Group Phpbb: 2.0.0, 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4, 2.0.5 (+21)
