it looks like they were using phpbb... probably an older version.
edit: just checked, they were using 2.0.8. current version is 2.0.10

it seems that the group was pretty malicious with that board. the worst that has ever happened with the board i admin is they replace the headers, footers and greeting message. i guess i should be on the lookout if they're making their annual rounds... sigh.

Latest is 2.0.10 modded ... 2.0.10 is vulnerable without some easy changes


Open viewtopic.php in any text editor. Find the following section of code:

//
// Was a highlight request part of the URI?
//
$highlight_match = $highlight = '';
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['highlight']))
{
// Split words and phrases
$words = explode(' ', trim(htmlspecialchars(urldecode($HTTP_GET_VARS['highlight']))));

for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($words); $i++)
{

and replace with:

//
// Was a highlight request part of the URI?
//
$highlight_match = $highlight = '';
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['highlight']))
{
// Split words and phrases
$words = explode(' ', trim(htmlspecialchars($HTTP_GET_VARS['highlight'])));

for($i = 0; $i < sizeof($words); $i++)
{

Curious.
