Medium

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions phpBB versions 2.0.19 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This can be achieved by either registering a large number of users through the "profile.php" endpoint or by using the "search.php" endpoint in a specific way that confuses the database.

Recommendations For phpBB versions 2.0.19 and earlier, consider restricting access to the "profile.php" and "search.php" endpoints until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, limit the number of user registrations and implement rate limiting on search queries to minimize the risk of exploitation.
