This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code. 2) Input passed to the "GLOBALS[filename]" parameter in forum.php is not properly verified before being used to display files. This can be exploited to e.g. display or create certain files via directory traversal attacks. 3) Input passed to the "GLOBALS[UTE][__tplCollection][a][file]" parameter in forum.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via directory traversal attacks. Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #2 and #3 requires that "register_globals" is enabled. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.6.4. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and verified.
