vBulletin 3.8.6 security flaw
Quote:
A serious flaw in software widely used to power online discussion sites could allow hackers to harvest reams of personal data, the BBC has learned.
The flaw in a specific version of the vBulletin software allows anyone to easily access the main administrator username and password for a site.
This would also allow hackers to access data, such as e-mail addresses, and edit the site at will.
The owner of the program - Internet Brands - released a fix on 21 July.
However, at time of writing, many sites remain vulnerable.
