Global Variable Bypass Vulnerability in phpBB 2.0.17 and Earlier

CVE-2005-3415 · HIGH Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

phpBB 2.0.17 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that deregister global variables by setting both a GET/POST/COOKIE (GPC) variable and a GLOBALS[] variable with the same name, which causes phpBB to unset the GLOBALS[] variable but not the GPC variable.
