SQL injection vulnerability in search.php in Phorum 5.0.0alpha through 5.0.20, when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the forum_ids parameter.
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.
