| mybb-index-sql-injection (27445) |

If register_globals is enabled, a remote attacker could send specially-crafted SQL statements to the /archive/index.php script using user-defined variables, which could allow the attacker to view, add, modify, or delete information in the back-end database.
Platforms Affected:
- MyBB, MyBB 1.0 PR2 - 1.1.4
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of MyBB (1.1.5 or later), available from the MyBB Web site. See References.
