Yazd Discussion Forum lets logged-in users post in any forum

CVE-2006-5729 · published 20 years ago
Summary

The Yazd Discussion Forum version before 3.0 beta does not check who is allowed to reply in each forum correctly. As a result, a user who can post somewhere can also reply to messages in forums they shouldn't access, and may gain additional rights. Update to the latest version or apply the vendor's patch to fix the permission checks.
