SQL injection vulnerability in page_header.php in phpBB 2.0, 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to brute force user passwords and possibly gain unauthorized access to forums via the forum_id parameter to index.php.
The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
