MyBB username spoofing and SQL Injection

Source: Internet
Author: User

Affected Versions: MyBB 1.4.8
Vulnerability Description: bugtraq id: 36463,36460

MyBB is a popular Web forum program.

MyBB allows you to copy user names of other users and place spaces with a width of 0 in them. These two usernames seem completely consistent, which may lead to spoofing attacks.

MyBB does not properly filter input transmitted through the avatar extension for use in SQL queries. Remote attackers can execute SQL injection attacks by uploading special names of avatar.

In addition, the vulnerability in Custom MyCode allows administrators to use eval expressions, but this vulnerability is less risky because administrators need to intrude into their forums.
