Descriptions

phpBB 2.0.20 does not verify user-specified input variable types before being passed to type-dependent functions, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by the (1) mode parameter to memberlist.php and the (2) highlight parameter to viewtopic.php that are used as an argument to the htmlspecialchars or urlencode functions, which displays the installation path in the resulting error message.

phpBB 2.0.20 no verifica tipos de variables de entrada especificadas por el usuario antes de ser pasadas a funciones dependientes del tipo, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible, como ha sido demostrado por (1) el parámetro mode a memberlist.php y el (2) parámetro highlight a viewtopic.php que son usados como argumento en las funciones htmlspecialchars o urlencode, lo cual muestra la ruta de instalación en el mensaje de error resultante.

phpBB version 2.0.20 suffers from full path disclosure and SQL errors.
