Medium

Base vector

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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PHPBB version 2.0.20

Description The issue allows remote attackers to use the server as a web proxy. This is achieved by submitting a URL to the avatarurl parameter in the usercp avatar.php file, which is then used in an HTTP GET request. This can occur when avatar uploading is enabled.

Recommendations For PHPBB version 2.0.20, consider disabling avatar uploading to prevent the server from being used as a web proxy until a patch is available. Restrict access to the usercp avatar.php file to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the avatarurl parameter in the usercp avatar.php file until the issue is resolved.
