looks like someone found a new exploit in Elgars unpatched phpBB.


yay for board vulnerabilities. It's no permanent and it doesn't really "hurt" anything... just disable the styles and you can see the whole page (although it's ugly)

It was just a Hack of the forum name/board descriptions. They replace it with some HTML. I've not bothered to patch as it's never happened before. Well only once the other week. Hasn't happened for years. Only started once I announced I was leaving AC.


It's just a quick SQL fix (servers are local).

Elgar, have you modified the .php files? If not, you should just drop in the updated files. The version you're running has a much worse vulnerablility (the highlight bug)... though the fact that you haven't been hit by it means you've probably patched it.
