The remote version of Burning Board Lite fails to sanitize user- supplied cookie input before using it in the ‘decode_cookie()’ function in a database query. Regardless of PHP settings, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this issue to uncover sensitive information (such as password hashes), modify existing data, or launch attacks against the underlying database.
