Multiple input-validation vulnerabilities in Phorum

Phorum is prone to multiple input-validation vulnerabilities, including an unauthorized-access issue, privilege-escalation issue, multiple SQL-injection issues, and cross-site scripting issues, because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify sensitive data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation.

Mitigation:

Ensure that user-supplied input is properly validated and sanitized to prevent unauthorized access, privilege escalation, SQL injection, and cross-site scripting attacks.
