TITLE:
Invision Power Board "Avatar" Cross-Site Request Forgery

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA22272

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/22272/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Hijacking, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Invision Power Board 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/3705/

DESCRIPTION:
Rapigator has reported a vulnerability in Invision Power Board, which
can be exploited by malicious users to conduct cross-site request
forgery attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing
administrative users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests
without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This
can e.g. be exploited to execute arbitrary SQL statements when an
administrative user with "root admin" privileges views a user's
malicious remote avatar image in the Admin CP.

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.1.7. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Apply Security Update for version 2.1.7.
