Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in MyBB (aka MyBulletinBoard) before 1.6.1 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the keywords parameter in a (1) do_search action to search.php or (2) do_stuff action to private.php. NOTE: the vendor disputes this issue, saying "Although this doesn't lead to an SQL injection, it does provide a general MyBB SQL error.
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.
