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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Yazd Discussion Forum versions prior to 3.0 beta

Description: The issue arises from improper management of forum permissions, allowing remote authenticated users to reply to messages in arbitrary forums if they are authorized to create a message in any forum. Additionally, users can perform certain unauthorized forum actions due to an error in permission assembly that assigns extra permissions to users.

Recommendations: For versions prior to 3.0 beta, consider updating to version 3.0 beta or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to sensitive forums and monitor user activity closely to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid relying solely on the built-in permission system until the issue is resolved.
