descriptionThe remote host is running a version of PunBB that fails to properly sanitize user-input to several scripts thereby enabling an attacker to launch various SQL injection attacks. In addition, the profile.php script enables anyone to call the change_pass action while specifying the id of an existing user to set their password to NULL, effectively shutting them out of the system.
