phpBB 2.0.20 does not verify user-specified input variable types before being passed to type-dependent functions, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by the (1) mode parameter to memberlist.php and the (2) highlight parameter to viewtopic.php that are used as an argument to the htmlspecialchars or urlencode functions, which displays the installation path in the resulting error message.
Certain forms in phpBB before 2.0.22 lack session checks, which has unknown impact and remote attack vectors.
Unspecified vulnerability in phpBB before 2.0.22 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors related to a "negative start parameter."
Unspecified vulnerability in phpBB before 2.0.22 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors related to "criteria for 'bad' redirection targets."

DISPUTED PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in groupcp.php in phpBB 2.0.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the phpbbrootpath parameter. NOTE: CVE and the vendor dispute this vulnerability because $phpbbrootpath is defined before use.
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in admin/admintopicactionlogging.php in Admin Topic Action Logging Mod 0.95 and earlier, as used in phpBB 2.0 up to 2.0.21, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the phpbbrootpath parameter.
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in includes/functionsportal.php in Vitrax Premodded phpBB 1.0.6-R3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the phpbbrootpath parameter.
phpBB 2.0.21 does not properly handle pathnames ending in %00, which allows remote authenticated administrative users to upload arbitrary files, as demonstrated by a query to admin/adminboard.php with an avatarpath parameter ending in .php%00.
usercpavatar.php in PHPBB 2.0.20, when avatar uploading is enabled, allows remote attackers to use the server as a web proxy by submitting a URL to the avatarurl parameter, which is then used in an HTTP GET request.
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in phpbb-Auction allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) the ar parameter in auctionroom.php and (2) the u parameter in auctionstore.php. NOTE: the auctionrating.php vector is already covered by CVE-2005-1234. NOTE: the original disclosure states that the product name is "PHP-Auction", but this is probably an error.
DISPUTED PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in template.php in phpBB 2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the page parameter. NOTE: followup posts have disputed this issue, stating that template.php does not appear in phpBB and does not use a $page variable. It is possible that this is a site-specific vulnerability, or an issue in a mod.
SQL injection vulnerability in charts.php in the Chart mod for phpBB allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the id parameter.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in charts.php in the Chart mod for phpBB allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the id parameter. NOTE: this issue might be resultant from SQL injection.
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in auction\auctioncommon.php in Auction mod 1.3m for phpBB allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the phpbbrootpath parameter.
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in admin/addentry.php in phpBB Advanced Guestbook 2.4.0 and earlier, when registerglobals is enabled, allows remote attackers to include arbitrary files via the phpbbrootpath parameter.

PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in toplist.php in phpBB TopList 1.3.8 and earlier, when registerglobals is enabled, allows remote attackers to include arbitrary files via the phpbbrootpath parameter.
PHP remote file inclusion vulnerability in /includes/kbconstants.php in Knowledge Base Mod for PHPbb 2.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a URL in the modulerootpath parameter.
Unspecified vulnerability in phpBB allows remote authenticated users with Administration Panel access to execute arbitrary PHP code via crafted Font Colour 3 ($theme[fontcolor3] variable) and/or signature values, possibly involving the highlight functionality. NOTE: the original report does not clarify whether this issue is static code injection, eval injection, or another type of vulnerability.
Direct static code injection vulnerability in includes/template.php in phpBB allows remote authenticated users with write access to execute arbitrary PHP code by modifying a template in a way that (1) bypasses a loose "." regular expression to match BEGIN and END statements in overallheader.tpl, or (2) is used in an eval statement by includes/bbcode.php for bbcode.tpl.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in phpBB 2.0.19 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) Site Description field in (a) adminboard.php, the (2) Group name and (3) Group description fields in (b) admingroups.php and (c) groupcp.php, the (4) Theme Name field in (d) adminstyles.php, and the (5) Rank Title field in (e) adminranks.php. NOTE: the profile.php/Current password vector is already covered by CVE-2006-1603.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in profile.php in phpBB 2.0.19 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the curpassword parameter. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.
The genrandstring function in phpBB 2.0.19 uses insufficiently random data (small value space) to create the activation key ("validation ID") that is sent by e-mail when establishing a password, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain the key and modify passwords for existing accounts or create new accounts.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in phpBB 2.0.19, when Link to off-site Avatar or bbcode (IMG) are enabled, allows remote attackers to perform unauthorized actions as a logged in user via a link or IMG tag in a user profile, as demonstrated using links to (1) admin/adminusers.php and (2) modcp.php.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in adminsmilies.php in phpBB 2.0.19 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via Javascript events such as "onmouseover" in the (1) smileurl or (2) smileemotion parameters, which bypasses a check for "<" and ">" characters.
