Description |
phpBB contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered due to an error in the comparison of "sessiondata['autologinid']" and "auto_login_key". Further, phpBB does not reset the $userdata['user_level'] variable after a failed autologin. It is possible for a remote attacker to set a specially crafted cookie to change the user_id to that of an administrator resulting in a loss of integrity.
