Punbb · Punbb · CVE-2008-5434
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
PunBB versions 1.3 through 1.3.1
**Description**
The issue allows remote authenticated administrators to execute arbitrary SQL commands. This can be achieved via the `order by` or `direction` parameter to "admin/users.php", or through configuration options to "admin/settings.php".
**Recommendations**
For PunBB versions 1.3 through 1.3.1, consider restricting access to the admin/users.php and admin/settings.php pages until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `order by` and `direction` parameters in the admin/users.php page, and limit modifications to configuration options in admin/settings.php.
