Description

phpBB contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to carry out an SQL injection attack. The issue is due to the 'usercp_register.php' script not properly sanitizing user-supplied input to the 'signature_bbcode_uid' variable. This may allow an attacker to inject or manipulate SQL queries in the back-end database.
