vBulletin 3.8.6 Security flaw

[Alex H]

Quite a major one this, and quite funny. If you search the faq of an unpatched version, such as:

http://forums.astrogaming.com/faq.php

with the keyword - database - it produces "interesting" results.

/g33k.

WTF. def interesting!

A DB error? That's not "interesting" .

*EDIT* PMSL however now I've found an unpatched forum (one of the largest in the UK too) I see what you mean. Way to go vBulletin LOL.

Yeah the link I posted is now patched.
