CVE-2010-5096

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MyBB versions prior to 1.6.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the keywords parameter in a (1) do search action to "search.php" or (2) do stuff action to "private.php". The vendor disputes this issue, stating it does not lead to an SQL injection but provides a general MyBB SQL error.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.6.1, update to version 1.6.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "search.php" and "private.php" files to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the keywords parameter in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
