Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-6506 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6506/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6506/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-6506","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6506/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-6506","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cpwv-6xpr-j2jp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"phpBB forum software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass access restrictions to activate deactivated accounts in phpBB, potentially gaining unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"phpbb","vendor":"phpbb"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in phpBB before 3.0.4 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and activate de-activated accounts via unknown vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6506","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"phpBB vulnerable to sensitive information disclosure","id":"CVE-2008-6507"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Apache Struts directory traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2008-6505"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-03-23","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3224","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-18"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in phpBB before 3.0.1 have unknown impact and attack vectors, related to \"two minor security-related bu","id":"CVE-2008-1766","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-70810","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1471","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-04-21"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"phpBB has Password Reset Link Poisoning via Host Header injection","id":"CVE-2026-29199","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"phpBB arbitrary CSS injection","id":"CVE-2019-16108","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-19"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"phpBB Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2019-9826","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass access restrictions to activate deactivated accounts in phpBB, potentially gaining unauthorized access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6506/"}
