Hello, today i asked one of my friend to see how a simple PHPBB forum was securised.

In a matter of 20 mins, he sucesfully hacked my PHPBB forum and he could do anything.

 

Now nor me or him knows anything about fixing security.

 

We found those 2 injection point to enter:

 

phpbb3_mywebsite.com_u

Cookie, parameter: phpbb3_mywebsite.com_sid

 

Thanks for further help on how to fix those security problems.

Thanks i posted to this Phpbb forum also. However ill keep this thread up to see if somone from here might know how to fix :P

That's fine.  I'm sure PHPBB has a 'proper' way of fixing these security issues.
